I have following data
1. The blue fields have an extra dash at the end, which I want to remove
2. The orange cells have extra texts. I want to take the middle characters eg. ABC Ltd
3. The green field has an extra space before the text string, which I want to remove
If I apply one step to remove one error, the rest of the text is coming as blank
How can I achieve this data cleaning while retaining all values in the final column in Transform? I need to eventually build relationship with other tanle based on this column.

Hi @Vishruti ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create calculated column.
Result =
VAR _conditional1 =
FIND ( "-", 'Table'[Site Name], 1, BLANK () )
VAR _originallen =
LEN ( 'Table'[Site Name] )
VAR _conditional2_1 =
FIND ( "->", 'Table'[Site Name], 1, BLANK () )
VAR _conditional2_1_result1 =
IF (
_conditional2_1 <> BLANK (),
RIGHT ( 'Table'[Site Name], _originallen - 1 - _conditional2_1 )
)
VAR _find2_2 =
FIND ( "->", _conditional2_1_result1, 1, BLANK () ) + 1
VAR _conditional2_1_result2 =
LEFT ( _conditional2_1_result1, LEN ( _conditional2_1_result1 ) - _find2_2 )
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
_originallen = _conditional1, LEFT ( 'Table'[Site Name], _originallen - 1 ),
_originallen <> _conditional1
&& _conditional2_1 <> BLANK (), _conditional2_1_result2,
[Site Name]
)
2. Create calculated table.
new table =
DISTINCT('Table'[Result])
3. Result:
