I have a large set of data that contains ticket numbers and the history of the Groups the ticket numbers were assigned to. The data may consist of 4 rows for, example, for ticket # 126748, because it was assigned to 4 different teams.
I'm trying to figure out a measure that will set the flag to '1' if the ticket numbers assigned group was ever 'Desktop Support.' If the ticket number's assigned group did include 'Desktop Support' then I want to set the flag on every row of that ticket # to '1'. Here is a screenshot of what I am trying to achieve:
I've searched and tried many different DAX combinations and have been very unsuccessful. All of my data is on the same table. Does anyone know a DAX measure that would help me achieve this?

Excel worksheet formula is already enough
| Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |

Can I use a wildcard within the syntax to get groups that start with DS? Here is the syntax I am using to get one group:
DS Assigned = if(CALCULATE(CONTAINS('Incident History','Incident History'[Assigned Group],"DS_Unity"),ALLEXCEPT('Incident History','Incident History'[Incident #])),1,0)
I tried this but had no luck:
DS Assigned = if(CALCULATE(CONTAINS('Incident History','Incident History'[Assigned Group],"DS_*"),ALLEXCEPT('Incident History','Incident History'[Incident #])),1,0)
How would I use a wildcard within the syntax to search any group that starts with 'DS'?
How would I change this syntax to use it in creating a new table rather than just a measure?
DS Assigned = if(CALCULATE(CONTAINS('Incident History','Incident History'[Assigned Group],"DS_Unity"),ALLEXCEPT('Incident History','Incident History'[Incident #])),1,0)
Have a look at CONTAINSSTRING:
e.g.
wildcard =
