Thanks for your help, but it doesn't work.

 

I did find this working :

DAX Column = IF (CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[String], "TRA"), "TRA" ,BLANK())

try this:

Column = IF( CONTAINSSTRING([Group], "PT"), [Hue], [Color])

Thumb for help, but yes I solve my problem  after finding code . Still thanks for your post

DAX Column = IF (CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[String], "TRA"), "TRA" ,BLANK()).
