Hi @asalazarjr 

 

I would recommend extracting the string in Power Query instead, you can use BetweenDelimiters function:

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Density", each if Text.Contains([Product], "TB") = true then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Product], " "," ", 3,0) else if Text.Contains([Product], "Gbit") = true then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Product], " "," ",1,0) else "")

 

This is based on the sample data that you have.

 

Hope this helps!
