Dax using IF and Contains

jessenewold — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 14:14:34 GMT

Hello,

I've created the below to replace the name of the terminal ID i.e. CAD01-2006 with Dispatch etc.

I have hundreds of terminals. I want to be able to find all of the terminals that have "web" in the name and replace them with a new name. Help is very much appreciated.

jessenewold ,

You can try this approach:

Measure = IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( SELECTEDVALUE ( T4[TERMINAL ID] ), "$" ) = TRUE (), "MOBILE", SELECTEDVALUE ( T4[TERMINAL ID] ) )
