Hi @Anonymous 

you can use this measure:

 

Measure = 
var _text=MIN('Table'[Column1])
var _len=LEN(MIN('Table'[Column1]))
return 
SWITCH(TRUE(),
_len<=3,_text,
_len>3&&_len<=6,LEFT(_text,_len-3)&","&RIGHT(_text,3),
_len>6&&_len<=9,LEFT(_text,_len-6)&","&MID(_text,_len-5,3)&","&RIGHT(_text,3))

 

result
