Removing few characters from rows

I have a column that contains versions of phones. It contains the following rows:

ios 8.3 (0.03K)

IOS 9.3.1 (1.49 k)

IOS 10.1

Android 5.0.1

Android 1.4.2 (OK)

IOS 9.3.2 (OK)

 

I have about 1 Million rows of data. I want to remove everything except IOS  or Android. Is there a way i can achieve it?

hi @Anonymous

 

You can do this with a Conditional Column in Query Editor

And if you have problem with Android and ANDROID (Case sensitive) (Following @ImkeF suggestion)

 

you can modify the M Code to:

Thank you so much for the help everyone. But in a column that has both Android and IOS following the versions. I just want to create a column that specifies, whether it is an Android or an IOS operating system.

So my results should something like this:

IOS

IOS

IOS

Android

Android

IOS

 

Instead of:

ios 8.3 (0.03K)

IOS 9.3.1 (1.49 k)

IOS 10.1

Android 5.0.1

Android 1.4.2 (OK)

IOS 9.3.2 (OK)

 

Is there a DAX query for that, or any other way to do it?

Hello, I tried to do what you suggested and succeeded. Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate it. Cat Happy

 

I just wanted to understand, what if there were Blank values in the column and I want to include that along with Android and IOS. Is there a way to do that too?

 

@Anonymous

 

You can add a new condition in the Conditional Column to IOS. ---> IOS And ELSE Condition  leave blank or enter "Other OS".

In the query-editor, add a step to your table:

 

Filter = Table.SelectRows(<NameOfThePreviousStep>, each Text.Contains([MyColumn], "IOS", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) or Text.Contains([MyColumn], "Android", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))

 

This is hand-edited code from the standard-filter from the table-header, as you probably want a case-insensitive match here?
