Hi, @vat2do 

If you are not good at coding, you can also try the buttons on the visual interface.

Please try following steps:

1. Select column 'Category' ->go to 'Transform' ->replace Values

Replace Value 'light ' with Value ''

2. go to 'Transform' ->'Format' ->'Capitalize each word'

Your solution is in DAX or some other language

In power Query, not in Dax.

@vat2do In power query first select column and replace "light " with blank 

Then transform the column by category "capitalize each word"

 

let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSirKL89TitWJVqpMzcnJLwczk3JKU8GMnMz0jBIFOBehGCqBzgcrjAUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Category = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Category", type text}}),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","light ","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Category"}),
#"Capitalized Each Word" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Replaced Value",{{"Category", Text.Proper, type text}})
in
#"Capitalized Each Word"
