Hi ,
Is there a dax function to separate alphanumeric values.
My Column:
A15
B20
A09
G33
output as 2 columns:
Col1 Col2
A 15
B 20
A 09
G 33
tHANKS
Or a more compatible approach, the column should be in a "^[a-zA-Z]{1,}[0-9]{1,}$" regex pattern.
let
Source = Table.FromRows({{"A15"},{"B20"},{"C09"},{"G33"},{"FE121"},{"ABC2"}},{"Column"}),
FirstNumberPosition= Table.AddColumn(Source, "index", each Text.PositionOfAny([Column],{"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"})),
addAlphabetsColumn= Table.AddColumn(FirstNumberPosition,"alphabets",each Text.Range([Column],0,[index])),
addNumbersColumn= Table.AddColumn(addAlphabetsColumn,"numbers",each Text.Range([Column],[index]))
in
addNumbersColumn
Does length of your column is always the same and 1st character is alphabet, if that is the case then you can use right or left function, no?
