Just started learning Power BI
I have a column where the values got mixed in with the name instead of just SKU numbers. How do I separate the value of this column to 2 new ones . So basically the numerics and the strings(alphabet) will be in a new column same row
Current Table
| Key | Product SKU |
| Mom | 8723927 |
| Dad | 7483649 |
Daughter | Jane Doe |
| Son | John Doe |
| Cousin | 23749 |
Expected results
| Key | Product SKU revised | Name |
| Mom | 8723927 | |
| Dad | 7483649 | |
| Daughter | Jane Doe | |
| Son | John Doe | |
| Cousin | 23749 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous you can add two new columns as per below DAX Expression:
Product SKU Revised = IFERROR(VALUE( 'Table'[Product SKU] ),BLANK())
Name = IF( ISERROR(VALUE('Table'[Product SKU])), 'Table'[Product SKU] )

Where/How do you apply this DAX expression?
I am not in that topic yet
