If then else old value

[STs2207]

Hi,

So I want to transform data in one column in the following way but cannot find a solution.

In the cells, I want to erase part of the content in the cells. A lot of cells start with "Worked by" but following but a different name and I want to erase the names.

I thought about something like if (contains ([columnname], ""Worked"); "Worked"; show old value) but I don't know to not apply modification if the cell doen't start with worked by

Hi @STs2207,

Is this the same question with your another post: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/If-then-else-old-value/m-p/400494#M182961?

Best Regards,
