Calculate function for contains and does not contain at the same time.

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

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"
        )
    )
)
