If region value is APAC then I am showing departments

 

India - Hyd

India - Pune

India - Chennai

 

If region value is USA then I am showing departments

 

United States - Newyork

United States - Roseland

 

My requirement is I need to show only

Hyd

Pune

Chennai

Newyork

Roseland

 

in the department sclier .

 

I need to trim the country names before city when showing

 

Could any one please suggest how to do this

This happens because there are names without a dash (-) and the formula throws an error because it cannot find the dash.

I have amended the formula which handles the error message.

 

Column = IFERROR(MID(Sheet1[Name], FIND("-",Sheet1[Name])+2,300), Sheet1[Name])

Create a new colum and add the following DAX formula:

 

New Column = MID(Sheet1[Department], FIND("-",Sheet1[Department])+2,300)
