Solved: Re: Separate String and Numbers in the same column...

Anonymous · ‎11-18-2019

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

@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
