Hi,
I have the following scenario - data looks like this as exmaple below :
ID | Query |
1 | select * from emp |
2 | select * from dept UNION select * from hr |
3 | select * from Purchase JOIN Expense ON Purchase. key = Expense.key JOIN Money ON Expense.key1 = Money.key1 |
required outcome:
ID | Table |
1 | emp |
2 | dept |
2 | hr |
3 | Purchase |
3 | Expense |
3 | Money |
tried with Text.BetweenDelimiters and Table.SplitColumn , but not able to get this.
Please help.

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
Resort to embedded R or Python with regular expression,
