Hi @AJAyr 

You could use this Dax .

Column =Left(Column Name , 7)
If you want left side first 7 digits you should use Left Function.
Column = Right (Column Name , 7)
If you want Right  side first 7 digits you should use Right Function.

Thanks,
Thennarasu

Thank you. But, I need to extract 4 different 7 digit unique codes to a new column

 

Hi @AJAyr 
Can you share the data sample with required output? We'll get better understanding by looking at input and output

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!
