Concatenates

[Alma1992]

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

Hi @Alma1992 ,

You can follow these steps below:

1.Add a new column.

CodeNumber = 
VAR code =
    REPLACE ( [Country Code], 1, 4, "" )
VAR result =
    LEFT ( code, SEARCH ( ")", code ) - 1 )
RETURN
    result

Change the Data Type to Whole Number:

2.Add a new column.

PhoneNumber = 
IF (
    'Table'[CodeNumber] < 10,
    LEFT ( 'Table'[Phone], 1 ),
    LEFT ( 'Table'[Phone], 2 )
)

 Change the Data Type to Whole Number:

3.Add a new column.

FinalResult = 
IF (
    'Table'[CodeNumber] = 'Table'[PhoneNumber],
    "+" & 'Table'[Phone],
    "+" & 'Table'[CodeNumber] & 'Table'[Phone]
)

Final output:
