    esmerlda There are a few options here. You can use Power Query, click the 'Add Column' tab and choose 'Extract' > 'Text After Delimter' > Custom > type 

    into the box. Click 'OK'.

    Then click Transform Column tab > Text before delimiter > Custom > type

    into the box. Click OK.

     

    Then you can either:

    Option A

    click Add Column tab >Conditional Column

    set that up to look for 500, 200, 100 and replace with Gold, Silver Bronze

     

    Option B

    Create a new table that has two columns:

    Level  Status

    500   Gold

    200   Silver

    100  Bronze

    Then use the relationships to connect these two tables.
