I have a column with a variety of license that each person has been assigned, as per column below.
I need a few measures so that I can report against certian license groupings, for example
1) Count rows that CONTAIN "Office 365" - it should count 2
2) Count rows that ONLY HAS "Office 365" - it should count 0
3) Count rows that CONTAIN "Office 365" and "Visio" - it should count 2
4) Count rows that CONTAIN "Office 365" Does NOT Contain "Word" - it should count 1
| Licenses |
| Office 365 + Word + Visio |
| Visio + Project |
Office 365 + Visio |
| Project + Visio |

@sharpedogs , 1 and 2 and are contradictory
You can use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/containsstring-function-dax
with Switch true()
example -- Correct logic as per need. Order is also important
Switch (
CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[NAME],"Office 365") && CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[NAME],"Visio"), 2,
not(CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[NAME],"Office 365")) ,0 ,
CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[NAME],"Office 365") && not(CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[NAME],"Word")) , 1,
0)
HI @sharpedogs ,
You can try these measures
Only has Office365 =
VAR _texttobefound = "Office 365"
VAR _lengthoftext =
LEN ( _texttobefound )
RETURN
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
'Table',
CONTAINSSTRING (
'Table'[Licenses],
_texttobefound
)
&& LEN ( 'Table'[Licenses] ) = _lengthoftext
)
)
Contains Office365 & Visio =
VAR _texttobefound1 = "Office 365"
VAR _texttobefound2 = "Visio"
RETURN
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
'Table',
CONTAINSSTRING (
'Table'[Licenses],
_texttobefound1
)
&& CONTAINSSTRING (
'Table'[Licenses],
_texttobefound2
)
)
)
Contains Office365 & not Word =
VAR _texttobefound1 = "Office 365"
VAR _textnottobefound2 = "Word"
RETURN
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
'Table',
CONTAINSSTRING (
'Table'[Licenses],
_texttobefound1
)
&& NOT CONTAINSSTRING (
'Table'[Licenses],
_textnottobefound2
)
)
)
Contains Office365 =
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
'Table',
CONTAINSSTRING (
'Table'[Licenses],
"Office 365"
)
)
)
