Separate the text value in the column

Hi Community

Please help, I need to separate the text value, the text value can be of different lengths
Separate values ​​is required when searching for a numeric value. 
As a result, I have to get text values ​​excluding numeric values.
I know that this can be done in Power Query, but with this separation I do not perform Incremental Update

 

ValuesResult
a s d 321 asda s d
z x c 654 zxcx z c 
q w e 963 qweq w e
a w s d 325 asdfa w s d

 

thanks for the help, 
Greetings from Ukraine

Hi @DimaMD 
One way to do that: New column >

Result = 
VAR NumberSeries =
    GENERATESERIES ( 0, 9, 1 )
VAR LocationTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( NumberSeries, "@Location", FIND ( [Value], Data[Values], 1, 10000 ) )
VAR StringEnd =
    MINX ( LocationTable, [@Location] ) - 1
RETURN
    LEFT ( Data[Values], StringEnd )

Hi @DimaMD ,
is the length of numeric part fixed at 3 characters?

Hi @Anonymous  no, it can be whole text words 

for example:
No War 321 No War, 
We are from Ukraine 321654, We are from Ukraine
As a result, I have to get in the column
No War
We are from Ukraine

If yes, you can use this DAX 

Aditya_Meshram_0-1651476265444.png

Text part only = 
var _numpart = RIGHT('Table'[Values],3)
return
SUBSTITUTE('Table'[Values],_numpart,"")
