    Hi jaypatel ，

     

    Create 3 calculated columns as below:

    First Value1 = 
var _search1=SEARCH("(",'Table'[Text],1,0)
Return
LEFT('Table'[Text],_search1-1)
    Start date = 
var _search1=SEARCH("(",'Table'[Text],1,0)
Return
MID('Table'[Text],_search1+1,10)
    End date = 
LEFT(RIGHT('Table'[Text],11),10)

    And you will see:

    For the related .pbix file,pls see attached.

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly

Hi jaypatel ,

 

I will not suggest you to do this in DAX.

 

However, these are the formulae you can try

 

 

First Value1 = 

var _a = SUBSTITUTE('Table'[Text], "-","|",3)
var _b = SUBSTITUTE(_a,"(","|")
var _c = SUBSTITUTE(_b,")","")
RETURN
TRIM(PATHITEM(_c,1))

 

 

 

StDate = 

var _a = SUBSTITUTE('Table'[Text], "-","|",3)
var _b = SUBSTITUTE(_a,"(","|")
var _c = SUBSTITUTE(_b,")","")
RETURN
TRIM(PATHITEM(_c,2))

 

 

 

StDate = 

var _a = SUBSTITUTE('Table'[Text], "-","|",3)
var _b = SUBSTITUTE(_a,"(","|")
var _c = SUBSTITUTE(_b,")","")
RETURN
TRIM(PATHITEM(_c,3))

I have tried your formulas. But I only get the result from the First Value1 formula. Other 2 formulas are not responding as I expected. Could you please me.
