Contains

Hello everyone,

 

What DAX formula i can use the same with the one I'm using in Tableau calculations. Please see example for my tableau calculation:

 

 

IF CONTAINS([ColumnsA], "Apples")

OR CONTAINS([Column A], "Orange")

THEN "Fruits"

ELSEIF

IF CONTAINS([ColumnsA], "Spinach")

OR CONTAINS([Column A], "Potato")

THEN "Vegetables"

ELSE "Herbs" END


Your help would be appreciated. Thank you

  • Hi Jedahn,

    You can use below DAX expression to create a column in a table:

    Column = If(CONTAINSSTRING('Sample'[Column A], "Apples") || CONTAINSSTRING('Sample'[Column A], "Orange") , "Fruits",

    IF(CONTAINSSTRING('Sample'[Column A], "Spinach") || CONTAINSSTRING('Sample'[Column A], "Potato") ,"Vegetables","Herbs"))

     

    Please refer to the below screenshot,

      Thank you for the reply. What does the 'Sample' in formula means? Is it the Table name or column name?
