I have a file that has a name column that contains 2 type of text before the actual name. All items will have (AB/CF) infront (used X;s to represent the name) but some will also have USA - after. Is it possible to create a custom column and have a dax formula remove the (AB/CF) from all the names but also remove USA - where applicable? Sample screenshot below
Thank You in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
The easier solution would be to use power query
1- duplicate the column if you want to keep the original form of the data
2- perform 2 replace operations in power query , first replace the (AB/CF) with blank then USA-
Add spaces before and after as appropriate so that they are removed with the replace operations

Hi @Earl40 ,
If you want to achieve this with DAX, you can try
Measure = IF(CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT(MAX('Table'[Original Name]),"(AB/CF) USA-"),SUBSTITUTE(MAX('Table'[Original Name]),"(AB/CF) USA-",""),IF(CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT(MAX('Table'[Original Name]),"(AB/CF)"),SUBSTITUTE(MAX('Table'[Original Name]),"(AB/CF)",""),0))

Try the following code:
CustomColumn = SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE([Your_Column_Name], "(AB/CF)", ""), "USA - ", "")
