I would light to parse the description field into the security purchased, quantity, and price. I can do this in Excel, but DAX eludes me. Can someone help? Very much appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey @JimB-GA
You can do this very easily using the Column from examples functionality in the Query Editor, no DAX required. Simply click Edit Queries, select your table, navigate to the Add Column tab, and on the top left you will see Column From Examples. Then start typing the value you would expect in that column for that row.
If you want a walkthrough on how to do it, check out this video:
