Hi i have a data table with following where i have a lot of entries like:
ENTRY | PART OF ENTRY WHICH DEFINES TYPE |
AAHEPX | XXXPX |
DKDEFX | XXXFX |
5DKDKE | 5XXXX |
6EOEEM | 6XXXX |
7ENEEG | 7XXXX |
S2OLDC | S2OLDC |
My translation table needs to be able to be able to decode the data with both full, Left and Right functions.
In SAP i use If(Substr(Trim([ENTRY]);4;2))="PX") Then "Public export", and then add RIGHT/LEFT functions for every type without a translation table.
Could i build a tranlations table in Power BI which would better or is IF(RIGHT/LEFT the only way to solve it?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @bilingual ,
Column = SWITCH(
TRUE(),
SEARCH("FX",'Table20'[ENTRY],1,0) > 0 , "Public Export",
SEARCH("7",'Table20'[ENTRY],1,0) > 0 , "Local Export",
SEARCH("S2OLDC",'Table20'[ENTRY],1,0) > 0 , "Special Export"
)

Hi again, so sorry, can see it is not very clear writtten, i try again with an example, how it is working in SAP:
ENTRY | PART OF ENTRY WHICH DEFINES TYPE | TYPE DEFINED FROM PART OF ENTRY | CURRENT SAP FORMULA |
DKDEFX | "FX" | Public export | =If(Substr(Trim([ENTRY]);4;2))="PX") Then "Public export" |
7ENEEG | "7" | Local export | =If(Substr(Trim([ENTRY]);1;1))="7") Then "Local export" |
S2OLDC | S2OLDC | Special export | =If(Substr(Trim([ENTRY]);1;6))="S2OLDC") Then "Special export" |
All entries have a length of 6 characters
Hi @bilingual ,
You will need SEARCH ,MID, LEFT functions to extract the value.

Hi, very quick question, will it be better to use RIGHT, MID or LEFT in terms of memory compared to SEARCH, when i know the position of each variable?
HI @bilingual
Thank you for more detail.
You can try SEARCH()

@bilingual , Not very clear
In DAX
If(MID(Trim([ENTRY]),4,2)="PX" , "Public export",blank())
in Power Query M
if Text.Middle(Text.Trim([ENTRY]),4,2)="PX" then "Public export"
Hi @bilingual ,
You can use FIND,SEARCH function and a combine them with LEFT ,RIGHT and MID Function in Power BI.
Can you share some sample data and expected output.
