how to simplify values in power bi?

for example.
I have this table with these value names, but I'm only interested in extracting the numerical value, or text.

If they're ALWAYS <text><number><text> you can, in power query, split the column with SPACE separator and then remove the first and third column.

Go to Power Query Editor then select that column and right click and choose split column then select digit to non-digit option.
