Search All Column Values in a different Column

[random_Bi_User]

Hi All!

I have a column with dirty data - lets call it ddColumn. Some of the Rows in the ddColumn contain product groups.
I would like to have a calculated column with the name of the product group - if found - and if not, just a blank value.
The product groups can be found in a product details table. The table with ddColumn has no relation to the product details table.

In a simplified way I thought it could look something like this:
if([productgroup] found in [ddColumn], return this [product group], "")
In dax i thought it could look something like this. But since a Column cant be used for search I do only get error.
If(Search('productdetails'[productGroup], [ddColumn], 1, Blank())>0, 'productdetails'[productGroup], Blank())

I hope someone of you might have a good solution for this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @random_Bi_User 

please try

Calculated Column =
MAXX (
    FILTER (
        VALUES ( Products[Group] ),
        CONTAINSSTRING ( Table1[ddcolumn], Products[Group] )
    ),
    Products[Group]
)

@random_Bi_User can you share sample tables so I could copy them to PBIX?
