extract string from values with different len

Hi, I have several Store[point of sale] column values that are compound names, where there is a code and then the actual point of sale name. For example.

123 Ltd. Sea
234 srlsl Montagna
23456 asd Lake

I just want to have the store names Sea, Montagna, Lake appear in a barplot. How do I extract them? Thank you very much

@Anonymous , You can achieve this using DAX and creating a new calculated column

 

StoreName =
     VAR StoreText = 'YourTableName'[Store]
     VAR SpacePosition = FIND(" ", StoreText, 1, LEN(StoreText))
     RETURN MID(StoreText, SpacePosition + 1, LEN(StoreText) - SpacePosition)
 
I have also attached PBIX file with sample data
