HI saranp780,
Based on your sample data, I haven't found any logic about how to choose specific characters as the category.
Can you please share more detail about this?Regards,

saranp780I've thought that I can put it together by using the keyword such as ACTSUP001 , ACTSUP002 I will put them in ACT group because they have "ACT" in their text. But I don't know DAX that I can use.

saranp780 on which basis are you making these categories for exampe
1) ACTSUP003 First 3 Letters ACT Which is fine
2) JVSKCM001 how did you get CM (No Clue)
3) PJACTOF1402B how did you get ACT (No Clue)
.
.
.
IF you can give your logic so that we can use String functions to get the requierd out put you can add as custom column and we will use power query to get this done .
Please give me exact logic and exact data so that we can resolve this.!!!!!!!!!1

2) JVSKCM001 how did you get CM (No Clue) ---> CM is the keyword JVSKCM001
3) PJACTOF1402B how did you get ACT (No Clue) ---> ACT is the keyword PJACTOF1402B

Hi saranp780
From this conversation i undetstood is that you have mapping for username and keyword. In this case you can do the following.
1) Create table from model (static table) and create two columns (UserName and Key)
2) Insert your UserName and Key into this table (Unique values)
3) Then join this table with your transactional table .(Join column UserName)
4) Create custom column [use related function to get key from the table you created] in the transactional table.
Then you will get Username and key in same table .
Hope this will get what you need please mark this as solution if you got the expected result.
Regards,
Venu Gopal.
