Is there any function that creating custom column from particular cell text?
e.g. Would like to get the value '1457.3', then create custom column with "1457.3" text.
(this time I created manually but hope to have dynamically)
This value will be always there and only number will change every month so hope to get the value and put to all of rows by creating column. Then I will be able to calculate all the rows with 1457.3 value.

Hi @jeongkim ,
In Power BI, the text type of data is available to use the Max () function, when your data with only one line of text, Max () function will be directly access to the value, when your data has more than one text, Max () function will be based on the order of the alphabetical sorting of the text to obtain the largest of these values.
Calculated columnÇ
Column 3 =
MAX('Table'[Column 2])

Hi @jeongkim ,
If it's text, you might consider using Max(), but this function takes the maximum value in the column of the calculation
MAX function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
MAX('Table'[Test1])
Or you can use the Value() function to convert it to an integer type, before using the sum() function.

Hi,
I meant if it is just letter like 'TEST' not numbers 1457.3,
then still can use Max function?
Hi @jeongkim ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create calculated column.
Test1 =
IFERROR(
VALUE('Table'[Column11]),BLANK())
Test2 =
SUM('Table'[Test1])
2. Result:

Thank you,
If it is not number just text then still can we have the same logic?
Sum would only work with numbers.
