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
Values | Result |
a s d 321 asd | a s d |
z x c 654 zxc | x z c |
q w e 963 qwe | q w e |
a w s d 325 asdf | a w s d |
thanks for the help,
Greetings from Ukraine
Solved! Go to Solution.
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 )

Such an ingenious solution! Your level of technological prowess in this technology is truely tremendous.

HI, @tamerj1
I am very grateful to you, your DAX worked, and that made it easier for me to work with the update
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
Text part only =
var _numpart = RIGHT('Table'[Values],3)
return
SUBSTITUTE('Table'[Values],_numpart,"")

Thanks for the help, well, this DAX does not work with my data, there may be several text values
