Hi thomas_raphael , if you are trying to add a new column, you could consider using Power Query to perform this function. It may be easier to see the results.
Please note that SEARCH("RunID",Incidentes[Description3],,BLANK()) will return a number representing the starting position of the text. "Find Text Value" - if I use search to find "Text" the result will be 6. If the search fails, the result is BLANK(). You may need to change the BLANK() to either 1 or 1000.
This result could be passed to the second VAR function. But it will only find position of the first "," after this start positon. 1, 6 or 1000. It there is no "," is returns BLANK().

Please note that I have also changed the first variable, maybe that would help... 🙂
