Checking string of certain format

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

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
