Hello,
I have a description column (see attached file). I am trying to create a new column that only contains the characters after 'Root Cause'. The issue is I cannot use Power Query due to database issues. Is this feasible?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @BO7,
You can try with below calculated column
RootCauseOnly =
VAR FullText = JIRA[Description]
VAR RootText = "Root Cause:"
VAR StartPos = SEARCH(RootText, FullText, 1, -1)
RETURN
IF(StartPos > 0,
MID(FullText, StartPos + LEN(RootText), LEN(FullText)),
BLANK()
)
Thanks,
