Hi @Kamchokshi ,

 

How about this:

LookupResult = 
IF ( ISERROR ( SEARCH ( "remote", 'Table'[Column] ) ), "No", "Yes" )

Let me know if this helped 🙂

Hi @Kamchokshi  ,

 

You can create a new column and input the following code:

Column =IF(CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[Column1],"remote"),"Yes","No")

 

Output:
