In Power BI other than the delimiter function what are some formulas that can be used to effectively separate diferent numbers and letters in the transform data section
Solved! Go to Solution.
1. Extract menu has 7 items which can be used depending upon your data and need
Length
First Characters
Last Characters
Range
Text before delimiter
Text after delimiter
Text between delimiter
2. Split column has 7 items which can be used depending upon your data and need
By delimiter
By no. of characters
By positions
By lowercase to uppercase
By uppercase to lowercase
By digit to non-digit
By non-digit to digit
3. These above one simulate many functions and make it easier for us to write the code.
4. Apart from this following can be used
4.1 to extract alphabets - Text.Select([Data],{"a".."z","A".."Z"})
4.2 to extract numbers - Text.Select(]Data],{"0".."9"})
Depending upon use cases, many other functions can be creatively used but I believe above ones will solve more than 95% of your needs.
