Keyword Search

RobX — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 14:28:43 GMT

I have a table that contains a text column and a second table that contains a list of keywords. I'm trying to set up a slicer that allows me to filter the text column by the keywords.

I created two measure and added a visual filter to accomplish this. The two measures I have are:

SelectedKeyword =

SELECTEDVALUE(

Keywords[Keywords]

)

WordFilterTest =

IF (

SUMX(Keywords,

FIND(

UPPER([SelectedKeyword ]),

UPPER(MAX(Note[Note])),, 0)

) > 0, 1, 0

)

This seems to work until I try to add the actual text column ([Note]) to the table visual. On adding the column, I end up with a time out due to memory constraints.

Does anyone know an alternate way to get the keyword search working?

RobX , the Second one can not be a column. You can create two measures like

SelectedKeyword =
SELECTEDVALUE(
Keywords[Keywords]
)

WordFilterTest =

SUMX(Note,
if(Search([SelectedKeyword ],Note[Note],, 0) > 0, 1, 0)
)

How are these used? WordFilterTest added as filter greater than 0? What about the other?
