@Anonymous Try these DAX columns:
Contract =
VAR __Start = SEARCH(" ",[Column]) + 1
VAR __End = SEARCH("Location:",[Column])
RETURN
MID([Column],__Start,__End - __Start)
Requestor =
VAR __Start = SEARCH("Requester: ",[Column]) + LEN("Requester: ")
VAR __End = SEARCH("Code:",[Column])
RETURN
MID([Column],__Start,__End - __Start)
Location =
VAR __Start = SEARCH("Location: ",[Column]) + LEN("Location: ")
VAR __End = SEARCH("Date Start:",[Column])
RETURN
MID([Column],__Start,__End - __Start)
