Hey Everyone, I am new to power query and this has had my head scratching is there anyway I can solve this?
Is it possible to check a string dynamically where AA****...BB where AA and BB are alphabets while ****... represents any amount of integers. If that is possible i would like to return it to an new column
eg: Output
AB123456BC 3033 AB123456
AB1234BC 2022 AB1234
Solved! Go to Solution.
Use this
= Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"},{"A".."Z", "a".."z"})(Text.SplitAny([Input],"/-"" """){0}){0}
Hi there
Place the following M code in a blank query to see the steps.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnQyNDI2MTVzclYwNjA2VorVgYkBRYwMjIyUYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}),
#"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Changed Type", "Column1", "Column1 - Copy"),
#"Split Column by Character Transition" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Duplicated Column", "Column1 - Copy", Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"}, (c) => not List.Contains({"0".."9"}, c)), {"Column1 - Copy.1", "Column1 - Copy.2"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Split Column by Character Transition",{"Column1 - Copy.2"}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Column1 - Copy.1", "Output"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"

Use this in a custom column where Input is column name
= Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"},{"A".."Z", "a".."z"})(Text.Split([Input]," "){0}){0}
See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnQyNDI2MTVzclYwNjA2VorVgYkBRYwMjIwgIoZOzi5uSrGxAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Input = _t]),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"},{"A".."Z", "a".."z"})(Text.Split([Input]," "){0}){0})
in
#"Added Custom"
Hey Thanks, this works but there is a small issue.
Sometimes the records are as such
AB1234/01BC
AB1234-01BC
how do i extract the above for that type of records
Use this
= Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"},{"A".."Z", "a".."z"})(Text.SplitAny([Input],"/-"" """){0}){0}
