Hi,

I had stored this mixed data in the "Table2" with column name "Mix". Below DAX formula should work for you (This is similar in Excel formula too)

Code:
=IFERROR(MID(Table2[Mix],SEARCH("/2",Table2[Mix])+1,8),LEFT(Table2[Mix],8))

If there are no additional variants, import Table2 (Column Mix) into the Power Query and in the Advanced Editor paste the following code:

Code:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Mix", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "Mix", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("/", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Mix.1", "Mix.2", "Mix.3"}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Split Column by Delimiter", "Mix.1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Mix.1.1", "Mix.1.2", "Mix.1.3"}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Split Column by Delimiter1", "AllFirst2", each if Text.Length([Mix.1.1])=8 and Text.Start([Mix.1.1],1)="2" then [Mix.1.1] else if Text.Length([Mix.1.2])=8 and Text.Start([Mix.1.2],1)="2" then [Mix.1.2] else [Mix.2])
in
    #"Added Custom"

New Column "AllFirst2" load in Data Model

Hi Nizamrcl,

If that is the only other case and you don't want to use Power Query which is a great solution too, a quick change to the formula below will work:

Code:
=IFERROR(IFERROR(MID(Table2[Mix],SEARCH("/2",Table2[Mix])+1,8),MID(Table2[Mix],SEARCH(" 2",Table2[Mix])+1,8)),LEFT(Table2[Mix],8))

ooops

incase if the line has blanks (other than /2) then this is not working

<tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl63, width: 455"]X1594 21209478 G4322094/096/097[/TD]

[TABLE="width: 455"]
