Adding a new column to search for words but using Comparer.IgnoreOriginalCase

Morning all,

 

Struggling a wee bit here to get the DAX to work for me. Looking to use Add Custom Column and utilise Comparer.IgnoreOriginalCase to allow me to create a column which searches into two columns but would need the search to ignore the case sensitivity of the search word as can be words.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Are you using DAX or M? "Comparer.IgnoreOriginalCase" looks like a M parameter, in which case, it's fine, but DAX has options for case sensitive (FIND() function) and insenstivie (SEARCH() function) so there's no need to specify as a parameter.
