If, Text.trimstart and text.end not working in Formula

Hi all,

 I have the below custom column I would like added, however, I am getting a 'Token ',' expected error showing.

 Any ideas what simple thing I am doing wrong πŸ™‚

 

Text.TrimStart (
Text.Contains([POS PARENT DIVISION NAME],"Area ") then text.end([POS PARENT DIVISION NAME],2)
else "99" )

 

Thanks


Alex

  • Hi villa1980 

    you forgot the if clause

     

    The following code should work πŸ™‚

    Text.TrimStart(
        if Text.Contains([POS PARENT DIVISION NAME], "Area ")
        then Text.End([POS PARENT DIVISION NAME], 2)
        else "99"
    )
