FILTER WITH IF AND CONTAINSSTRING

Hi guys,

 

i trying create a filter using a word/string contained in the analyzed cell, as in the image below:

rafa97cteep_1-1653487477690.png

 

For example, cells have several descriptions, such as "sanar", "defeito", "ninho".... would there be any way to use an IF with the CONTAINSSTRING to create a default filter to use the data segmentation

Nice @Nathaniel_C  😁 its work for me!!!!

 

Last question, this condition can distinguish if the same word is spelled differently? for example: house House hoUse

 

Because I wanted to ensure that this condition caught the word, regardless of how it is written

Hi @rafa97cteep ,

Good point.  Add a column that uses Text.Lower() -see picture- and point the previous column to that new column. This way no matter how they type it, it gets converted to lower case for the test.
Once again, please mark this as solved, so that other people who are looking for a solution can find it easier!


Thank you, and good luck!
