    Hi rssilvaba ,

     

    Last occurrence of "x" Column = 
    FIND (
        "@",
        SUBSTITUTE (
            [Column1],
            "x",
            "@",
            LEN ( [Column1] ) - LEN ( SUBSTITUTE ( [Column1], "x", "" ) )
        )
    )
    
    Last occurrence of "x" Measure = 
    FIND (
        "@",
        SUBSTITUTE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[Column1] ),
            "x",
            "@",
            LEN ( MAX ( 'Table'[Column1] ) )
                - LEN ( SUBSTITUTE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Column1] ), "x", "" ) )
        )
    )
    

    Then, I can get the string before the last "x". 

    String before the last "x" = LEFT([Column1],[Last occurrence of "x" Column]-1)

     

    But currently I don't know how to get the last several numbers. Maybe you can try the method swise001 provided.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Icey
