Repeat digits

Hi,

 

I wanted to create a column returning the last nth digits (should be dynamic, e.g 5 or 6 digits) if it has repeat digits.

 

if the Number is 24411111 results should 11111 or 87499999 results should be 99999.

 

Thanks

    Hi  Anonymous ,

     

    Create a measure as below:

    Measure = 
var _lastone=RIGHT(MAX('Table'[Number ]),1)
var _search=SEARCH(_lastone,MAX('Table'[Number ]),1,0)
Return
RIGHT(MAX('Table'[Number ]),LEN(MAX('Table'[Number ]))-_search+1)

    And you will see:

     

    For the related .pbix file,pls see attached.

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly
