Hi @Yqy,

The formula you provided seems to be correct, but you may need to adjust it if the data in your column does not always have the same number of delimiter characters ("/").

Here's the modified formula that you can try:

= LEFT('Data'[Column 1], FIND("/", 'Data'[Column 1] & "/")-1)

The difference is that we added a "/" character at the end of the column data in the FIND function. This is to ensure that the formula always finds a delimiter character, even if the original data does not end with one.

Alternatively, you can use the Text.Split function to split the column data by the delimiter and extract the first element of the resulting list. Here's the formula for that:

= Text.Split('Data'[Column 1], "/"){0}

This formula splits the column data into a list using the delimiter "/", and then extracts the first element of the list (which corresponds to the text before the first delimiter).
