Hi @Anonymous 

 

Try this code to add a new column:

Column = 
Var _SR = SEARCH(":",'Table'[Data])

return
left('Table'[Data],len('Table'[Data])-_SR-2)

 

or this code to add a new measure:

measure= 
Var _SR = SEARCH(":",max('Table'[Data]))

return
left(max('Table'[Data]),len(max('Table'[Data]))-_SR-2)
