Dax using IF and Contains

Hello, 

I've created the below to replace the name of the terminal ID i.e. CAD01-2006 with Dispatch etc. 

I have hundreds of terminals.  I want to be able to find all of the terminals that have "web" in the name and replace them with a new name.   Help is very much appreciated.

    jessenewold ,

    You can try this approach:

    Measure = 
IF (
    CONTAINSSTRING ( SELECTEDVALUE ( T4[TERMINAL ID] ), "$" ) = TRUE (),
    "MOBILE",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( T4[TERMINAL ID] )
)
