Extarct repetitive text from the long string with delimeters

Hello,

 

I have a column as below and i would like to extract the text thats under 'name='

 

 

 

[id=1254,state=CLOSED,name=Sprint 5,[id=1342,state=ACTIVE,name=Sprint 6,[id=1234,state=ACTIVE,name=Sprint 7,goal=,

 

Output should look something like,

Sprint 5, Sprint 6, Sprint 7

 

Is this achiveable ?

Hi @DBA_BI,

 

Try this one:

= Text.Combine(List.Transform(List.Skip(Text.Split(Source, "name=")), each Text.BeforeDelimiter(_, ",")), ", ")

 

Source is your string.

 

Kind regards,

John
