I have 2 columns:
The first column indicates my source and is a concatenation of the file name plus the as of date
The second column is the record number.
Here is an example:
1. extract_093020.xls
2. 22937
My goal is to produce a third column that has the following: Date_record number.
Here is an example:
093020_22937
I tried this expression (below), but get the following error:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "2020-09-30" to type List.
Details:
Value=2020-09-30
Type=[Type]
Text.Combine( "20"&Text.Middle([Source.Name],19,2)&"-"&Text.Middle([Source.Name],15,2)&"-"&Text.Middle([Source.Name],17,2))+[Record ID]
Please hlep me know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.
Salut, @Anonymous , you may try
Text.Combine({Text.Select([Source.Name], {"0".."9"}),[Record ID]}, "_")

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
