How to If text column CONTAINS specified value, Then Count it

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm trying to create a calculated measure in one of my tables that help me count every column that contains the word "Warm".

 

How can I implement CALCULATE(COUNTROWS to achieve this function? 

 

 

Thank you

Hi @njxfoster 

 

Try this measure:

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
    FILTER ( 'Table', CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Connection Details], "Warm" ) )
)

Hi,

Here is one way to do this:

CountWarm = COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
ADDCOLUMNS(Temperature,"Test",
if(SEARCH("Warm",Temperature[Temperature],,2)<>2,1,0)),[Test]=1))


End result:

Hi ValtteriN! Thank you for your answer

 

The table is for phone transfer detail, There is a column about "Connection Details". I need to see how many phone connection is being " Warm transfered"  So I was thinking to count columns that contain the word "Warm" .

 

is there any way to count this without creating new column?

 

Thanks in advance
