Direct query Split Columns

Hi all, 

 

I am just starting with PowerBI, so still a steep curve ahead 🙂

As company and security reasons we are not allowed to use import mode and only direct query.

I got an table with seperation markers (space) in the MD table like:

Idle Capacity CA111

Idle Capacity CA112

The end result should be that Idle, Capacity and CAXXX are seperate columns.

 

I looked into several options on this forum, but I cant seem to find the awnser', no matter what I can't get it to work.

tried several DAX codes but none seem to work or I am doing something wrong.

 

 

So please can someone help me with this 🙂

Hi @Hidrolix ,

If you want to spill columns in Direct Query mode, it is not possible to do so.

Thanks for the Response 🙂

I have added a small example data. 

Goal: 
To split the management domain further into the availability zones with Slicers visual in PowerBI
The availability zone's are the Red/Blue behind the management Domain (storage/network/Mainframe)

BuildingRoomManagement domain (MD)
Building 1Room 1Storage_Red
Building 1Room 1Storage_Rlue
Building 2Room 1Network_Blue
Building 2Room 1Network_Red
Building 2Room 2Mainframe Red
Building 2Room 2Mainframe Blue
