Row level Security DAX expression

Hi All,

 

Applying row level security is simple when there is just one item present in a cell. But how do you make a DAX expression for Row-Level Security when the items are comma seprated. Like in my situation, I want to apply row level security on the "Affected organizations" column where if there is "Morgan Stanley" present then only it shows to a perticular set of users.

Please use containsstring function like belowRLS.png

CONTAINSSTRING([affected organizations],"Morgan Stanley")

Second approach is to create a calculated column 

Column = IF(SEARCH("Morgan Stanley",'Table'[Name],1,0)>0,TRUE(),FALSE())
and use this column in filter expression
