Hi
i am new to Power BI.
I need a DAX formula to check if fields contain a particular word.
if text contains the word remote then return "yes" otherwise "no"
example
123Remotexyz. return "Yes"
123Physicalxyz. return "No"
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Kamchokshi ,
How about this:
LookupResult = IF ( ISERROR ( SEARCH ( "remote", 'Table'[Column] ) ), "No", "Yes" )
Let me know if this helped 🙂
