Hi @Ns-leyton 

You can create a custom column and input the following code

=Text.Middle([Column1](your column name),Text.PositionOf([Column1](your column name),"-")-4,9)

Output

and you can also refer to the attachment below.

Best Regards!

hello, @Ns-leyton 

    finder = Table.AddColumn(
        your_table, 
        "found",
        (x) => 
            [a = Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(" ")(x[column_name]),
            b = List.Select(
                a, 
                (w) => List.ContainsAll(chars, Text.ToList(w)) and Text.Length(w) = 9
            )][b]{0}?
    )

this also finds patterns like 12-456789 but you may add more conditions like split by "-" and check if both parts have the same lenght of 4. Hope you've got the idea.
