FILTER on a part of text in a cell

Hi,

 

I want to filter a column that has very similar content. So I am trying to filter on a part of the text that is in a single cell.

 

This is what the data looks like:

Account

Product

Power sold

Green 1 year

Power sold

Green variable

Power sold

Received green variable

Power sold

Received green 2 year

 

I need to filter on “Received”. In SQL you would just use LIKE(“x*”) but how does this work in DAX/Power BI?

 

PS: There is no other colomn with a distinct value

 

Thanks in advanced!

Hi @RickPowerBI ,

 

Try this code to create a new column:

 

Filter = IF(SEARCH("Received"; 'Table'[Product];1;-1) > 0; 1;0)
