Measure to filter out values that begin with an alphabet

[Heinrich]

Hi

Is there a possibility to filter out all values that beginn with a letter and not an number.

The measure should should than show only values who beginn with a letter.

Hi, @Heinrich 

Based on your description, I have created some measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.

Measure:

Filtered Values =

VAR _values =

    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[values] )

VAR _numbers = { "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9","!","@","#"}

    //You can add more characters that don't start with a letter or only characters that start with a letter, how to modify the logic of IF

VAR _left1 =

    LEFT ( _values, 1 )

VAR _isInNumber =

    IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( _values ) && _left1 IN _numbers, BLANK (), _values )

RETURN

    _isInNumber
