Hey all, I have a simple DAX formula in Excel Powerpivot (NOT pbi)
=calculate(sum(table[Sales])
I want to filter it so that if [X Column] contains the string "pablo", only then will the sum be calcaulted.
I've tried a bunch of different methods
For some reason 'containsstring' is not a function available
Solved! Go to Solution.
@doubleclick Try:
=
CALCULATE (
sum(table[Sales]),
FILTER (table, FIND ( "Pablo", Table[X Column],, 0 ) <> 0 )
)
Note that the function FIND is case-sensitive. Check this link for details:
