@Chandrashekar I dont think so it possible with IN but we have certain other option as well like search or you can create in PQ using conditional column. In case you want to add multiple conditions then you can use below code:-

Column =
IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( [state], "action" ) ||  CONTAINSSTRING ( [state], "condition1" ) || CONTAINSSTRING ( [state], "condition2" ), "Action" )
