Hi @Akatsuki 

Please try

 

Expected Name =
VAR String =
    SUBSTITUTE ( 'Table'[Name], " yr", "yr" )
VAR Items =
    SUBSTITUTE ( String, " ", "|" )
VAR Length =
    PATHLENGTH ( Items )
VAR T1 =
    GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length, 1 )
VAR T2 =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( T1, "@Item", [Value] )
VAR T3 =
    FILTER ( T2, NOT CONTAINSSTRING ( [@Item], "yr" ) )
RETURN
    CONCATENATEX ( T3, [@Items], " ", [Value], ASC )

 

Thank you sir, will try it and let you know

@Akatsuki 
Yes but there is still a small problem. I will update the code in my original reply.
