Extract Using Any Non-Number As Delimiter
Hi. I am trying to extract numbers that only exist before any characters occur in the string. Once ANY characters start, that will be the end of the number. The trick here is that somtimes there are ...
= Table.AddColumn(#"Modificato tipo", "Personalizzato", each try Number.From(Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"}, (c) => c <"0" or c>"9")([Source]){0}) otherwise 1)Anonymous , you need to add a new column this way in your senario,
Hello Anonymous
you can use this formula in a new column
let GetNumber= List.FirstN(Text.ToList(_[Source]), (itemlist)=> Value.Is(try Number.From(itemlist) otherwise "text",type number) ) in if List.IsEmpty(GetNumber) then 1 else Number.From(Text.Combine(GetNumber))
here a complete example
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjZQitWJVjIxcATThkY6ps4+QWC2o5MzjDY0MlaKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Source = _t]),
AddColumn = Table.AddColumn
(
Source,
"Extract",
each let GetNumber= List.FirstN(Text.ToList(_[Source]), (itemlist)=> Value.Is(try Number.From(itemlist) otherwise "text",type number) ) in if List.IsEmpty(GetNumber) then 1 else Number.From(Text.Combine(GetNumber))
)
in
AddColumn
