Hi guys,
Im new to PowerBI, especially when it comes to DAX formulas.
What I'm looking for is to check a specific column that contains a lot of cells vetical with a specific values/text inside.
An example is:
The column name is called "System" and all the values in those vertical cells have specific text with a syntax. The syntax should be written where its located, what system it is and what type of component it is and if its unique or not.
So what im trying to do is to create another column called "System check" that tells me if the column System has the right or wrong syntax code.
Do anyone of you have any ideas to solve this problem. Maybe the DAX formula isnt the right way?
Hoping for a positive answer 🙂
