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
