if formula based on string values in text

Hi Experts

 

I have a column in Table that has string values thats start with either complaints and sales as follows:

1. complaints_text_ and

2. sales.csv 

 

Formula to go into new column

1. if the string start complaints_ replace the value as Complaints

2. if the strinf starts sales.csv replace the value as Sales

and all other strings in column A remain as is.

So perhaps:
Column1 =
SWITCH(TRUE()
"complaints_" IN { 'Table'[Column] }, SUBSTITUTE('Table'[Column],"complaints_","Complaints "),
"sales.csv" IN { 'Table'[Column] }, SUBSTITUTE('Table'[Column],"sales.csv","Sales ")
)
