How to split based off of space and a number?

How do you split a colun such that it splits where the delimiter is a space and number?

Eg. Without quotations:

" 1"

" 2"

" 3"

 etc.

Thanks.

Hi @BAFreedom ,

Your data has to be organized in a way that the space is after a identifier in your data set. Then you can run the extract function in power query to only take values after the delimiter _ .

1. _ 32
2. _ 35
3. _ 36

If it is not, you could try using the function in Power Query which is explained here

Hope that helps!
