Search for text among numeric values
Hello community. I need to solve one task. In collum have data that starts with numbers, then we have text, then again numbers, the goal is to select the text between two numbers and to insert it...
Hi DimaMD
As promissed, here is the solution (No need for the letters table)Text = VAR String = 'String Table'[String] VAR StringLength = LEN ( String ) VAR T1 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 0, 9, 1 ), "@Number", [Value] & "" ) VAR T2 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 1, StringLength ), "@Index", [Value] ) VAR T3 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T2, "@StringLetters", MID ( String, [@Index], 1 ) ) VAR T4 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T3, "@TexLetters", IF ( NOT ( [@StringLetters] IN T1 ), LOWER ( [@StringLetters] ), "|" ) ) VAR T5 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T4, "Text Letters", VAR PreviousIndex = [@Index] - 1 RETURN IF ( MAXX ( FILTER ( T4, [@Index] = PreviousIndex ), [@TexLetters] ) <> "|", [@TexLetters] ) ) VAR T6 = FILTER ( T5, [Text Letters] <> BLANK ( ) ) RETURN PATHITEM ( CONCATENATEX ( T6, [Text Letters] ), 2 )

Hi Amal,
Please refer to attached sample file with the solution. Please let me know if you face any trouble implementing the same on your actual data.
Output =
VAR String = 'Table'[Input]
VAR Items = SUBSTITUTE ( String, " ", "|" )
VAR Length = PATHLENGTH ( Items )
VAR T1 = GENERATESERIES ( 0, 9, 1 )
VAR T2 = GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length, 1 )
VAR T3 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T2, "@Item", PATHITEM ( Items, [Value] ) )
VAR T4 =
FILTER (
T3,
VAR T5 = FILTER ( T1, CONTAINSSTRING ( [@Item], [Value] ) )
VAR Condition1 = NOT ISEMPTY ( T5 )
VAR Condition2 = NOT ( CONTAINSSTRING ( [@Item], "-" ) )
VAR Condition3 = NOT ( CONTAINSSTRING ( [@Item], "/" ) )
RETURN
Condition1 && Condition2 && Condition3
)
VAR Digits = CONCATENATEX ( T4, [@Item] )
VAR Factor =
SWITCH (
TRUE ( ),
CONTAINSSTRING ( String, "K$" ), 1000,
CONTAINSSTRING ( String, "M$" ), 1000000,
CONTAINSSTRING ( String, "B$" ), 1000000000
)
RETURN
VALUE ( Digits ) * Factor
Salam Tamer,
Thank you very much but i have this error 😞
Salam Amal,
Please search this value in your table and share the line that creates this error as I failed to simulate it.
Hi Amal,
Looks like a date which the code has converted to this shape somehow. Unless I see how it originally looks like I won't be able to solve the problem.
I don't find this value!
