    Hi,

     

    You can do this so much easier via the Query Editor and use the split column transformation and split by @

    ThoSch then you can use the last parameter of FIND function - NotFoundValue and set it to 1. If you want blank, when there is no @ in email. If you want the text, then insert IF function as well.

     

    Regars.

    Hi ThoSch. Subtracting by 1 should be after FIND function. DAX should be as:

     

    Domain1 = LEFT(Tabelle1[Column1];FIND("@";Tabelle1[Column1])-1)

    Regards.
