As the old folks say, there are no silly questions

Try the Right function in another calculated column

RIGHT

    • RIGHT returns the last character or characters in a text string, based on the number of characters you specify.

Syntax

DAXCopy
 
RIGHT(<text>, <num_chars>)

The Golden Rules for Power BI

  1. Use a Calendar table. A custom Date tables is preferable to using the automatic date/time handling capabilities of Power BI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxiAYGbCfAQ
  2. Build your data model as a Star Schema. Creating a star schema in Power BI is the best practice to improve performance and more importantly, to ensure accurate results! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Kilya6aUQw
  3. Use a small set up sample data when developing. When building your measures and calculated columns always use a small amount of sample data so that it will be easier to confirm that you are getting the right numbers.
  4. Store all your intermediate calculations in VARs when you’re writing measures. You can return these intermediate VARs instead of your final result  to check on your steps along the way.
