Count multiple text in one cell-Direct Query Mode

Dear All,,

I need expert help to give me an advice to multiple specific text in Direct Query Mode.

Here my sample table, I named it "CovidRedFlagsStatus":

 

CovidRedFlagsStatus
Fever more than 5 days, Rash on student Skin, Very Sleepy
Rash on Student Skin
Hurth to breathe, lips, mouth or fingers appear bluish
Rash on student Skin, Very Sleepy
lips, mouth or fingers appear bluish


Here the list of the sentence need to be count :
1. Fever more than 5 days,
2. Rash on student Skin,
3.Very Sleepy
4. Hurth to breathe,
5. lips, mouth or fingers appear bluish

I hope the result will be like this :

CovidRedFlagsStatusNumbCovidRedFlagsStatuser 
Fever more than 5 days, Rash on student Skin, Very Sleepy3 
Rash on Student Skin1 
Hurth to breathe, lips, mouth or fingers appear bluish2 
Rash on student Skin, Very Sleepy2 
lips, mouth or fingers appear bluish1 



Your Support will be really appreciate

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

Create the following measure and use it in a table or matrix visual against the status. The ffile is attaceched below my signature.

NumbCovidRedFlagsStatuser = 
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
        VALUES(Symtomps[Symtomps]),
        SEARCH( Symtomps[Symtomps], SELECTEDVALUE(RedFlagStatus[CovidRedFlagsStatus]),,BLANK())
    )
)

Hi @Fowmy

 

Thank you for trying to help,  but second row should be "2". Because "lips,  mouth or fingers also one sentence". Is there a way to fix this?  

 

Your future support will be really appreciate. 

@TaufikMaggangka 

I did not type the sentence correctly, missed the comma after lips. Now check the attached file.
