    hello Anonymous 

     

    your syntax looks good but here are some notes you probably want to put a note.

    - in Line 4, NOT function is use for both containsstring but you need opposite value only for "Enterprise" for "AE".

    - use comma in-between if statement

     

    Here is one way to represent if statement based on your DAX.

    Role Type =
    IF(
        CONTAINSSTRING('Opportunity'[AE Title],"Account Executive")&&NOT CONTAINSSTRING('Opportunity'[AE Title],"Enterprise"),
        "AE",
    IF(
        CONTAINSSTRING('Opportunity'[AE Title],"Enterprise"),
        "EAE",
    IF(
        NOT CONTAINSSTRING('Opportunity'[AE Title],"Account Executive"),
        "Other"
    )))

     

    Another way to write is using SWITCH.

    Role Type Switch =
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        CONTAINSSTRING('Opportunity'[AE Title],"Account Executive")&&NOT CONTAINSSTRING('Opportunity'[AE Title],"Enterprise"),"AE",
        CONTAINSSTRING('Opportunity'[AE Title],"Enterprise"),"EAE",
        NOT CONTAINSSTRING('Opportunity'[AE Title],"Account Executive"),"Other"
    )

     

     

    Hope this will help you.

    Thank you.
