Thanks first.
I am trying to remove all letters after the very last "_", e.g. orginal text "US_Texas_Austin_Begerstrom"/"Texas_Dallas_FortWorth", result: "US_Texas_Austin"/"Texas_Dallas".
But PowerBI doesn't recognize "reverse", anyother ways pls?
@PioneerZhu this is what you need:
Col2 =
VAR __T = PATHLENGTH( SUBSTITUTE(Table[PFAM],"_","|")) - 1
VAR __S = SUBSTITUTE ( Table[PFAM], "_", "|", __T )
RETURN LEFT ( __S, FIND ( "|", __S , , 1 ) - 1 )
