I have a field in a certain table that most records have more than 20 characters each, and I need to use only the first 15, how can I do?
Obs: I tried to use the strokes to divide the column by characters but some characters disappeared with this as you can see in the pictures

Hi,
You can Use Extract--First Characters--and Enter 15.
You can find this action in Transform or Add Column
Let me know if works.

To get fixed length of text from a text column, you can use Extract as @Vvelarde suggested, this will add a Power Query step in Query Editor like:
#"Inserted First Characters" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "First Characters", each Text.Start(Text.From([Project Name], "en-US"), 15), type text)
Or you can add a calculated column and use DAX to achieve your goal.
First 15 = LEFT(Table[Column],15)

hi, for my problem I have a colum with variety character length. Some are 13, letters, some are 10 and such. So I only want to extract the first 8 characters from a 13 letters character. However on the add custom column it says it cannout found the LEN or len, but no syntax error whatsoever. How do I solved this?
