Loic_Pedro_Hans_0-1694607482591.png

 

My formula is : 

 

Prenom =
VAR Pos_Virgule = IFERROR (FIND(",",Customer[Name]), BLANK() )
VAR Taille = LEN( 'Customer'[Name])
IF (
    NOT ISBLANK(Pos_Virgule),    
    VAR Prenom = LEFT( 'Customer'[Name], Taille - Pos_Virgule),
    VAR Prenom = 'Customer'[Name]
)
RETURN Prenom
 
There is an error : La syntaxe de « IF » est incorrecte. 
 
can you help me please.
 
Thanks.
