How Do I Extract the Text Found at the First DN= of the Distinguished Name?
Here is a Distinguished Name:
CN=Test,OU=Iowa,OU=Primary,DC=NA,DC=US,DC=COM
CN=Test,OU=Primary,DC=NA,DC=US,DC=COM
I want the output of the above to be NA
Essentially it would find the first occurnance from the left of DC= and return the text after that untill the next ,
This would give me the domain of each user.
Thank You Ahead of Time.
Solved! Go to Solution.
OK, that means that some of your values don't have a DC= in them so you will want to use the "Not Found Value" parameter of FIND. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/query-bi/dax/find-function-dax
So, something like:
Column = VAR myStart = FIND("DC=",[DN],,-99) VAR myEnd = IF(myStart=-99,-99,FIND("DC=",[DN],myStart+3,-99)) RETURN IF(myEnd=-99,BLANK(),MID([DN],myStart+3,myEnd-myStart-4))
Column = VAR myStart = FIND("DC=",[DN]) VAR myEnd = FIND("DC=",[DN],myStart+3) RETURN MID([DN],myStart+3,myEnd-myStart-4)
I get this error, "The search TExt Provided to function 'FIND' could not be found in the given text.
@Edit
It does not like FIND("DC=",[distinguishedName]) but does accept FIND("DC=",[distinguishedName],1,0) for whatever reason that is whats throwing the error

That works Perfectly. Thank you.
