Hello all, hello @Greg_Deckler.
Trying to return data from a cell with many rows of information, the information that I'm looking to extract is between:
(word: ) and enter (moved to the next row in the same cell - alt+enter), this information is not fixed in size, it can go from 10 characters to 29 or even more.
tried to use
New Column = VAR Position = SEARCH ( "Yard", Table1[Column],, 0 ) - 3 RETURN TRIM ( MID ( Table1[Column], Position, 2 ) )
- but it dosent have an end so I can't adjust to the variable size.
Will it be possible to build a DAX to extract that?
Hi @remi
Could you provide more detailed information, such as an example of the information and which value you want to get from the information.
Best Regards
Maggie
Hello @v-juanli-msft,
Thank you for getting back to me!
The information that I'm looking for is within a cell with multiple rows, and only one of that row contains the string of characters that needed to be returned in this exercise.
The data looks like this:
row
row
.
.
.
typology: Information that I want
row
row
row
so the delimiters should be "typology: " and "alt+enter" (or what character is used to represent the changing of the row), also the information wanted - Information that I want - to be retrieved is not fixed in size, it's made of a different number of words and a different number of characters. What do you think can this be achieved?
