Hi @Shreesefwere
just paste below code in calculated column not measure
Column =
VAR _lastName =
MID (
'Person'[# of Person],
SEARCH ( " ", 'Person'[# of Person], 1, 1 ),
LEN ( 'Person'[# of Person] ) - 1
)
VAR _firstName =
MID ( 'Person'[# of Person], 1, SEARCH ( " ", 'Person'[# of Person], 1, 1 ) - 1 )
RETURN
UPPER ( LEFT ( _firstName, 1 ) )
& RIGHT ( _firstName, LEN ( _firstName ) - 1 ) & " "
& UPPER ( LEFT ( TRIM ( _lastName ), 1 ) )
& RIGHT ( TRIM ( _lastName ), LEN ( TRIM ( _lastName ) ) - 1 )
I hope this time you may get correct answer!
