Post ProdigyExtracting text before a delimiter
Hi unnijoy ,
Does your Name & ID column contain data like "AA" without parentheses? If so, you will get an error when using the DAX provided by amitchandak .
Try the following formula:
Name = LEFT( 'Table'[Name & ID], SEARCH( "(", 'Table'[Name & ID], , LEN('Table'[Name & ID]) + 1 ) - 1 )If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
