61-2300-B-PID-2350-01-07917D | Project Working Copy |
61-2300-B-PID-2350-01-07917 | Project Working Copy |

Thank you!
Hi @Nurzh_17 one possible solution could be to create new column in Power query using M function Text.Start
(I recognize pattern from your picture: first 21 character should retrive):
New column Document cut code is
= Table.AddColumn(#"Promoted Headers", "Document cut", each Text.Start([DocumentNumber],21))
I hope this help
