Remove same text within a column

I think I'm just having a hard time wording what I'm trying to do.  We have record types that all start with "Service Onboarding" but on my visualizations I think this is redundant so I would like to remove that verbage.  However, not all of the record types are the same.  So I basically need a formula that will remove just "Service Onboarding" from the record type name.

 

I know you can do this in excel, but I'm having trouble finding the same functionality in Power BI.

Why can't you just use "Replace values"?  Meaning why doesn't this work?  It would seem simple enough you would think like Excel values.
