Hi everyone, I've got a file format I'm trying to handle which puts a whole bunch of different information into the 1 column.
It has date fields - eg 31/07/2018
It has user names
It has invoice numbers
There are other columns shown too which are necessary but I wanted to be able to split out the data in the aforementioned column into separate columns.
E.g. 1 column dates, another for users etc
Is there some sort of functions I can use to do this or DAX code that takes regular expressions (REGEX) to do this too?
thank you!
EDIT: Example image from Edit Query page attached - this shows how time fields and date fields are shown in the one column. I don't show it here but there are also user names in the same field that I'd like to parse. Hope this helps.
Hi,
Share data in a form that can be pasted in an Excel file. What do the numbers in column B represent? For the data that you paste here, show the expected result as well.
I don't think the initial problem was fully descriptive.
Are you trying to get a table that looks like
User 01/07/2020 10
Jeff 11/08/2020 15
?
Hi @HotChilli , sorry was in other projects over the last 2 days. That's exactly what I'm trying to do. Keep the value column as it is but trying to extract user names, and dates from the column where those data inputs are combined.
