Hi,

Can someone please help me with this?

I have this raw data:

PRODUCTSALES REP
A1 David
B3 Jim
C4 Jean
DMaria
APaul
BGeorge

How can I eliminate these prefix values (1, 3, 4) that come from the raw data? Is it in Power Query?. The idea is to have clean data such as:

SALES REP
David
Jim
Jean
Maria
Paul
George

Thanks!

Andres

    #"Trimmed Text" = Table.TransformColumns(Custom1,{{"SALES REP", Text.Trim, type text}})
in
    #"Trimmed Text"
