How to extract string from name and create name group

[asalazarjr]

Hey All,
Need help creating dax formula or calculated column to extract product density. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Need to go from left product column to right density group:

Product	Density
A123 B1234 8Gbit 8 77/999 AE 1 AB	8Gbit
A123 B12 4Gbit 16 7/999 ABCDE 1 AB	4Gbit
A123 B1 2Gbit 16 77/999 AB 1 AB	2Gbit
A123 B12346 512Gbit 8 77/99 ABCDE	512Gbit
A123 B123 77/999 ABCDE 1TB	1TB

Thanks in advance!

Hi @asalazarjr 

Try this code to add a new calculated column:

Column = 
VAR _G =
    FIND ( "Gbit", [Product],, -1 )
VAR _T =
    FIND ( "TB", [Product],, -2 )
RETURN
    IF (
        _G <> -1,
        RIGHT ( LEFT ( 'Table'[Product], _G + 4 ), 6 ),
        IF ( _T <> -2, RIGHT ( LEFT ( 'Table'[Product], _T + 1 ), 3 ), "" )
    )

You can add a custom column with this expression in the query editor. Note that M is case sensitive, so you can add in Text.Upper or Text.Lower to avoid that issue if needed.

= List.Select(Text.Split([Product], " "), each Text.Contains(_, "Gb") or Text.Contains(_, "TB")){0}
