Concatenates
Hi. I have got this excel formula that concatenates the country code & phone number and ensure the output doesn’t duplicate the country code if it’s already within the phone number (see below). I would like to do it in power BI. How can I do it, can you please advise? Thanks in advance!
=IF(LEFT(H2, LEN(MID(G2, 6, LEN(G2)-6))) = MID(G2, 6, LEN(G2)-6), "+" & MID(G2, 6, LEN(G2)-6) & MID(H2, LEN(MID(G2, 6, LEN(G2)-6))+1, LEN(H2)), "+" & MID(G2, 6, LEN(G2)-6) & H2
