Hi,

Generally I would recommend doign these kind of changes in Powerquery, but if you want to do this in the first idea that comes to my mind is using something like this (this works since your data seems quite uniform) 

Column = LEFT('Table (10)'[Column1],LEN('Table (10)'[Column1])-3)

If this is not sufficient I would recommend using GENERATESERIES like in this post: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/DAX-extract-numbers-from-text-to-a-new-number...

I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!
