I am totally new to PowerBI and I was someone who coded all throughout the life but I am trying to replicate something similar with DAX and can someone help me here?
I am trying to extract names from the below string of text the idea is to
Say, if I take, NPO-63928320-Robert Robert James-6/31/19-DAH and here how it would processed in each step [NPO,63928320,Robert Robert James,Some wild text to confused,ALL CAPS VALUES,6/31/19,DAH] [NPO,63928320,Robert Robert James,Some wild text to confused,6/31/19,DAH] [Some wild text to confused,Robert Robert James,NPO,63928320,6/31/19,DAH] [Robert Robert James,NPO,63928320,6/31/19,DAH] Returns (Robert Robert James)
NPO-63928320-Robert Robert James-Some wild text to confused-ALL CAPS VALUES-6/31/19-DAH NPO-39528320-Li Wang-06/24/2017-SHA NPO-39285320-Xi Nam Suas Aasq-07/23/2017-EKA NPO-3928e320-Rich Braden-05/21/2014-KAM NPO-Justine Schimpf-392y8320-08/21/16-SHAM NPO-39283g20-Nadla Schimpf-02/22/17-ASQ JAPB-39283320-Wang Shang-09/08/2013-ASQ ACDBPO-Raq Rich-02/07/13-36928320-SAW EUAS-392885320-Jillan Dang Romeri Hernadaez-01/07/2017-SLA
Hi @Anonymous
Could you accept other methods such as using Power Query to transform the text string?
Best Regards
