    Hi bakedpotatoes ,

     

    Thanks for the reply from Idrissshatila .

     

    To replace A21/0945/ME with A21/945/ME, follow my steps below.

     

    Here is the sample data I created:

    Column1

    Type

    Custom

    A21/847/MS

    AA

    8

    A21/0847/MS

    BB

    0

    A21/0847/MS

    CC

    0

    A21/0847/MS

    DD

    0

    A21/847/MS

    EE

    8

    A21/847/MS

    FF

    8

    A21/847/MS

    GG

    8

    A21/847/MS

    HH

    8

     

    First, create a custom column in Power Query:

    Text.Middle([Column1], 4, 1)

     

    Change the format of the Custom column to Text.

     

    Create a measure to determine whether the value needs to be replaced based on Custom.

    Measure = 
    IF(
        MAX('Table'[Custom]) = "0",
        REPLACE(MAX('Table'[Column1]),4,2,"/"),
        MAX('Table'[Column1])
    )

     

    The final page effect is as follows:

     

    If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

     

    The pbix file is attached.
