@WJ876400 ,

 

Just modify the dax above:

Column = 
VAR v_PercentPos = SEARCH( "%", 'Table'[Data], 1, 0 )
VAR _var = TRIM( RIGHT( LEFT( 'Table'[Data], v_PercentPos ), 3 ) )
RETURN
IF(_var = "00%", "100%", _var)

Or another way is to use python script:

# 'dataset' holds the input data for this script

import pandas as pd

dataset['Result'] = dataset['Data'].str.extract('\s(100%|(\d{1,2}(\.\d+)*)%)')[0]

Hi @WJ876400 ,

Try this:

Column =

RETURN
TRIM( RIGHT( LEFT( 'Table'[Field], v_PercentPos ), 4 ) )
