Hi,&nbsp;I have a column of stock numbers that range from 10000000 to 80000000 however there is the odd entry that contains text. Id like to create a dax that would create a new column that only display the stock numbers and therefore ignores the text?&nbsp;Screenshot below of result from current column&nbsp;Thank you for your help!

Anonymous&nbsp; is this using power query not DAX though?&nbsp;I am trying to use DAX to solve this?

It's recommended to use Power query for column creatation. IF not possible then only go for dax.
