For First Four, use following DAX formula and change the column to Whole Number

 

First Four = LEFT('Table'[Phase],4)

 

For Section, use following DAX formula

 

       SWITCH(
                TRUE(),
                'Table'[First Four]<=250,"0-250",
                'Table'[First Four]<=500,"251-500",
                'Table'[First Four]<=750,"501-750",
                'Table'[First Four]<=1000,"751-1000",
                'Table'[First Four]<=1250,"1001-1250",
                'Table'[First Four]=2000,"2000",
                'Table'[First Four]=9000,"9000",
                LEFT('Table'[First Four],4)
            )
