Hi khisla
Or, assuming your StoreIDs start with IL and if you'd like to extract them in Power BI, you can create a new Column with below DAX (You can also add other letters to search in case your StoreID start with other letters)
StoreID = VAR _letterToSearch= "IL" VAR _txt = [Test String] VAR _startPos = SEARCH(_letterToSearch, _txt, 1, -1) VAR _result = IF( _startPos > 0, MID(_txt, _startPos, 5), BLANK() ) RETURN _result
