    Hi Anonymous 

     

    The Greg_Deckler solution will 100% cover your request; Just remove that Bracket ) at the end.

    and if you want to replace "null" with blank use this:

     

    if [Job Family] = "Direct Sales" and Text.Contains([Job Title] , "Account Executive") then "AE" else ""

     

     

     

    If this post helps, please consider accepting it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

    Appreciate your Kudos✌️!!

Anonymous Not really enough information but try:

AE role= if ( [Job Family]="Direct Sales" && (SEARCH("Account Executive",[Job Title],0) > 0 ) ,"AE", "")

Otherwise, Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
