hi, I need ideas how can I convert string by encoding if it contains Letters or numbers.
Ex string= whf45po7, would give (l-letter, n-number): lllnnlln.
Dax or M.
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @blazko
Please see the M Function code below.
(String as text) => let split = Splitter.SplitTextByRepeatedLengths(1), splitText = split(String), checks = List.Transform(splitText, each if Value.Is(Value.FromText( _ ), type number) then "n" else "l"), combine = Text.Combine(checks) in combine
