    Hi AllanBerces ,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.

    The behavior occurs because CONTAINSSTRING() performs partial matching, so "DISC" can also match text within another word such as "DISCHARGE". If the requirement is to match "DISC" as a standalone word only, you can try the following calculated column:

    Subtable = 
VAR _Text = " " & UPPER('Table01'[ColumnA]) & " "
RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    CONTAINSSTRING(_Text, " DISCHARGE DISC "), 1,
    CONTAINSSTRING(_Text, " DISC ")
        || CONTAINSSTRING(_Text, " SILICON "), 0,
    BLANK()
)

     

    I tested this with sample data and got the expected results below:

     

    Please find attached .pbix for reference.

    Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.
    Thank you.

 Subtable =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
CONTAINSSTRING('Table01'[ColumnA], "DISCHARGE HOSE"), "1",
CONTAINSSTRING('Table01'[ColumnA], "DISC"), "0",
CONTAINSSTRING('Table01'[ColumnA], "SILICON"), "0"
)

SWITCH evaluates top to bottom and stops at the first match. Order matters here.
