DAX Function Guide
LEFT

How does the LEFT work?
The LEFT function (DAX) returns the number of characters defined at the start of a text string.
LEFT Formula Syntax
LEFT(
<text>, <num_chars>
)
How do you use the LEFT?
DAX works with Unicode and all characters are stored on the same length. Thus a single LEFT function is necessary to remove the characters.

Considerations when using the LEFT?
If the argument num chars is a number that is greater than the number of characters in the text string, the function DAX LEFT returns the maximum available characters and does not create any errors.
