Hello, I have Latitude column with Decimal type and there are some spaces between the digits. My question is how I can remove the spaces? . I tried trim function which required changing the type from Decimal to Text and when I changed the type I have strange values.
The following explain the case: Thank
Latitude(Current) | Latitude (After cleaning) |
32. 56744 | 32.56744 |
32. 56 472 | 32.56472 |
3 2.1 2 360 | 32.12360 |

Hello,
Unfortunatly, the problem has not been solved yet. I will share the file soon.
Thanks,
@RamiDaoud , as @Jimmy801 mentioned, embedded Text.From() function will do the trick,
Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Text.Remove(Text.From([Latitude]), " "))
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
Hi, @RamiDaoud , Text.Remove does the trick for you.
Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Text.Remove([Latitude], " "))

I tried it but I recived the follwoing error:
Expression.Error: The value isn't a single-character string.
Thank you
Hello @RamiDaoud
are you sure the second parameter is a " " and not a string with 2 characters?

Thank you for your comment I modified it based on your comment. However, I recived the following error:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value 32.346477999999998 to type Text.
Details:
Value=32.346478
Type=[Type]
Hello
Then surround your column reference with Text.From()
