Dear Community,
I hope you can help me. I need to create a calculated column to identyfy the lines with a 6 digit number in the text.
Is there a function to identify the notifictn(unic number) that has a 6 digit number in the material text(placed at different positions and with different 6 digit numbers)?
Hi @gjelstrup
Please test the following. I did not have the chance to test from my side.
6 digit number =
VAR String = 'Table'[Material Description]
VAR Items =
SUBSTITUTE ( String, " ", "|" )
VAR Length1 =
COALESCE ( PATHLENGTH ( Items ), 1 )
VAR T1 =
GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length1, 1 )
VAR T2 =
SELECTCOLUMNS ( T1, "@Item1", PATHITEM ( Items, [Value] ) )
VAR T3 =
FILTER (
T2,
VAR Item1 =
COALESCE ( [@Item1], 1 )
VAR Length2 =
LEN ( Item1 )
VAR T4 =
GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length2, 1 )
VAR T5 =
SELECTCOLUMNS ( T4, "@Item2", MID ( Item1, 1, [Value] ) )
VAR T6 =
GENERATESERIES ( 0, 10, 1 )
RETURN
LEN ( Item1 ) = 6
&& ISEMPTY ( EXCEPT ( T5, T6 ) )
)
RETURN
MAXX ( T3, [@Item] )
Hi @tamerj1 I really apprecialte your help. Thank you.
I cannot make it Work. I think that I need to change what is marked by ned in below scrren dump, however, I am not certain what I need to change it to.
Yes, this is a typo mistake, the price paid for not testing. It should be [@Item2]
Apologies again. It should be [@Item1]
Sorry, im really new to this BI stuff, where are you putting this code, in a measure or a new column?
