Hi! I need some help with Powerquery. I'm trying to remove all extraneous characters from a given input string so that there are only digits and letters left, but I don't really know if that's possible without access to regex. Does anyone have any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Simple enough,
= Text.Select("!~cl3509af;J8Ea""@6O4c", {"0".."9","a".."z","A".."Z"})
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |

Hi @PowerBtm
Place the following M code in a blank query to see the steps.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WKix3UDY0MlZxC1KKjQUA", 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}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Select(Text.ToList([Column1]), each List.Contains({"A".."Z"} & {"a".."z"} & {"0".."9"}, _))),
#"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {"Custom", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From)), type text})
in
#"Extracted Values"
