Split or delimit column based on IF statement

Hi, not sure if this is possible.

I have a table that contains 2 columns (Level and Model).

I need the information inside the Model column, however it's positioning differs on the level.

 

Below is the example:

The information I need:

If LEVEL = 1, I want to split it after 2nd character to get "55"

If LEVLE =2 or 3, I want to split it after 4th character to get "45" and "10".

Is this possible?

 

Thank you.!

Hello,

Yes, this is possible. I would consider using transform to accomplish this. In transform, add a custom column with the following M language:

if [Level] = 1 then Text.Middle([Model],2,2) else Text.Middle([Model],4,2)

I used it to get this:

Hope this helps!

@RalphyDaddy 

besides the solution in pq, you can also use DAX to create a calculated column

 

Column = IF('Table'[Level]=1,mid('Table'[Model],3,2),mid('Table'[Model],5,2))
