POWERBI DAX
CONVERT THE ABOVE COLUMN TO DECIMAL VALUES WHICH ARE NOW IN HEXADECIMAL FORM, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE 0x40 should get value 64 ( by substitue 0x to space). I WANT ONLY IN DAX NOT IN POWER QUERY OR M.

Do you just need this conversion for 2 digit hex numbers? This code works only for 2 digits as shown in your example but can be expanded for more digits.
Firstly, create a new table
HexTable = { ("0", 0), ("1", 1), ("2", 2), ("3", 3), ("4", 4), ("5", 5), ("6", 6), ("7", 7), ("8", 8), ("9", 9), ("A", 10), ("B", 11), ("C", 12), ("D", 13), ("E", 14), ("F", 15) }Rename the text column Hex and the numeric column Decimal
Then create a column in your table containing the hex - change the VAR statements with 'Table'[Hex] to match your own table and column names.
HexToDecimal = VAR _FirstHexDigit = RIGHT('Table'[Hex],1) VAR _SecondHexDigit = MID('Table'[Hex],3,1) RETURN LOOKUPVALUE('HexTable'[Decimal],'HexTable'[Hex], _SecondHexDigit)*16 + LOOKUPVALUE('HexTable'[Decimal],'HexTable'[Hex], _FirstHexDigit)Regards
