How to extract letters and digits in string in Power Query

[leopoldvili_1]

Hi, 

I would like to extract text from the input string and get the result provided in the output by using Power Query.

input:

hello bd AD-001234 hb

this is AD-3245

output:

AD-001234

AD-3245

Can anyone give me some tips? not using R?

Thank you

Hi @leopoldvili_1 

Download example PBIX file

Create a Custom Column with this code

List.Select(Text.Split([input]," "), each Text.Contains( _ , "-")){0}
