Hi all,
still new to this DAX language even I do understand more and more day by day I feel still often lost.
Probably for most of you guys it is very easy to solve my following question.
I want to get a value if a column contains text - any text no specific.
i started like this:
if(
search(
"part of text";table[column]);1;0)
The pic below shows this sort of text i have as condition...
but unfortunately ans "error".
Would be nice if anyone can help me out.. even u may laugh about it..
cheers, bb

Hello Nathaniel C.,
thanks for your quick reply and right answer.
For me following Formula made it the way I could work with.
=if(iserror(value('Plätze1'[ARTID]));1;0)
Sorry for late reply but just started working now and had to modify to make it suitable.
Cheers and still a nice day!!
