Hi @Poornima2023 ,
I’d like to acknowledge the valuable input provided by the @amitchandak . Their initial ideas were instrumental in guiding my approach. However, I noticed that further details were needed to fully understand the issue.
In my investigation, I took the following steps:
Create three columns
Name = LEFT([Column], FIND("/", [Column]) - 1)
Age = MID([Column], FIND("/", [Column]) + 1, FIND("/", [Column], FIND("/", [Column]) + 1) - FIND("/", [Column]) - 1)
Class = RIGHT([Column],FIND("/",[Column])-1)
Final output
Best regards,
Albert He

@Poornima2023 , I doubt you will be able to create a complex column using Power query.
You can try with DAX Search and Right, left, and Mid. But I doubt everything is supported
example
Name = Left([Column], search("/", [Column],,1) )
