Hi All,

 

Need to extract number values from text, the number should be 3 digits long.
every extraction should be on new column.

See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test (later on when you use the query on your dataset, you will have to change the source appropriately. If you have columns other than these, then delete Changed type step and do a Changed type for complete table from UI again)

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQ0VHBUMDIyUkhMUjA2NlYoSa0oMTO3UIrVAUkC5UxMTBSK83NTwTJgYRBDAaQxWQGuDywBUgaSBMoBJRzh4kATIHakgISM4YYYGkHEjSBCRkimxQIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Text = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Text.Trim(Text.Select([Text],{"0".."9"," "}))),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {{"Custom", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Custom"),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Split Column by Delimiter", each (Text.Length([Custom]) = 3)),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"Text"}, {{"kolom", each Text.Combine([Custom],","), type nullable text}}),
    Custom1 = Table.SplitColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "kolom", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), List.Transform({1..List.Max(Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Temp", each List.Count(Text.Split([kolom],",")))[Temp])},each "kolom." & Number.ToText(_)))
in
    Custom1

@Vijay_A_Verma Great this is what i needed.

Now trying to implement in my existing query, when i try to keep a extra column(Row id) when grouping the result is new column with list values.

Is there a better way to do this?

 

Also it would be nice to keep the orginal column with the summarized values, maybe even new kolom with the account.

Anyhow accepted it as a solution since my orginal question has been solved.

Thanks Again

 



Use this

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Tc07EoAgDATQq2RS2yQg2HIOhsIPpWMhhcc3CQ5jyb7NkjMSESRgZlg3cM5Bq08LccEJCcukBXHvPdzXWU2F2EgfoAM7jHtBZ6h1LYgLps+8maz1Pw+NNZ/HIHE31jhYzP/1iKW8", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Text = _t, #"Row ID" = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Text.Trim(Text.Select([Text],{"0".."9"," "}))),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {{"Custom", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Custom"),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Split Column by Delimiter", each (Text.Length([Custom]) = 3)),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"Text", "Row ID"}, {{"kolom", each Text.Combine([Custom],","), type nullable text}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"

It works.
