Anyone know how to parse a text and store in a new column for a tabular model

[Mobartle]

Hi, I have been trying to find out the best way of parsing out the mfg lot from a group of serial numbers. Four consecutive numbers (Place values are 7-10, As shown below)

First two place are for the week and the second two the year. Can anyone show me how to accomplish this? A Dax calculation? Something? I am unable to use the serial number column inside the tabular model to execute this (=mid(Data[text],7,4)) calculated metric as only measures are available for use opposed to actual columns. Can someone provide with code or an alternative to create a calculated measure based off an actual column in a tabular model?

Are you trying in M Query, then it is easy,

Select the column you are trying to extract,

go to tab "add column", click extract dropdown, click range, enter 7 and 4.

Will this help you?

@sevenhills I have been attempting to do so but the fact that it is a tabular model, that live connection show for my visuals but does not show up as table when transforming the data.
