Hi ahamedafridi18,
There are so many different ways to achieve that, just wondering how representative the image is...
For example any of these will do, just insert a Custom Column and copy an expression from below, replace "Source" with the column reference [Source.Name]let Source = "Detroit 21-02-2024.xlsx", AlwaysBetween = Text.BetweenDelimiters(Source, " ", "."), AtTheEnd = List.Reverse( Text.SplitAny( Source, " .") ){1}?, Anywhere = List.First( List.Select( Text.SplitAny( Source, " ."), each Text.Length( Text.Select(_, {"-"}) )=2 )) in AnywhereI hope this is helpful

Hi ahamedafridi18,
Here is a Dax query for a calculated column 'Date' to extract the date from the SourceName column and convert into date format
Date = FORMAT(DATEVALUE(RIGHT(LEFT([Source.Name],18),10)),"DD-MM-YYYY")If you like my solution please consider giving a upvote..Thank you! - Vijay_A_VermaMost Valuable Professional
An alternative way in PQ is to use this in a custom column
Text.BetweenDelimiters([Source.Name]," ",".",{0,1})
