Power Query - Getting Shortform

[Afiq_Danial]

Hi,

I have a table that looks like this right now:

Some of the certificates name has short forms while others dont. I want to create a new column in power query which only take the texts in the bracket. For the certificate that does not has any shortform in the brackets, i want it to show the full name in the new column. I have to do it in power query (something that im still learning)
What i want my table to look like is this:

This is the file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ojdvJSwOLTcF7c_e58bNLjeUo92aQO_O?usp=share_link

Thank you, Appreciate the help I'm getting.

Hi @Afiq_Danial 

Try the above formula by changing the "c" on certificate as "C" it works and give you the result that you are looking for.

Re-sharing the command again here with update :

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.PositionOf([Certificate],"(") <1 then [Certificate] else Text.Middle([Certificate], Text.PositionOf([Certificate],"(") +1,Text.PositionOf([Certificate],")") -Text.PositionOf([Certificate],"(")-1 ))

@Afiq_Danial 

you can try this

if Text.PositionOf([certificate],"(") <1 then [certificate] else Text.Middle([certificate], Text.PositionOf([certificate],"(") +1,Text.PositionOf([certificate],")") -Text.PositionOf([certificate],"(")-1 )
