Hi frds,
I have query for Edit Query mode, need result DAX/M Quey.
I need Colour type from Description column, maybe it will add new colour also in future.

Thanks,
KV
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You can use Transform --> Extract --> Extract between delimiters in Edit query on your Description column.
Try this option with differet delimiters whichever works for you.
If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂

Hi,
If you can share a master list of all possible colours which can be found in the Description column, then i can solve this problem with a DAX formula.
@Anonymous , using switch true or if create a color measure like thsi
Color Date = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Date],TODAY()) <today(),"lightgreen","red")
or
color =
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum(Table[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum(Table[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
/// Add more conditions
"red"
)
In conditional formatting use "field" and the color measure

Hi @Anonymous ,
Or Transform -> Split Column.
