contains a value

Hello all

I am new to DAX and learning thing as I go. I am creating a measure where I wish to give me a count of issues based on certain criteria

Open Issues Platform = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Jira-Extract-Live'), 'Jira-Extract-Live'[All Labels]="Platform"

What I have now found is that my All Labels column contains other values and hence is not matching so my question is (and apolgise if really simply) can the = be substituted to represent 'contains'? So my query would be the same but the ask on the All Labels column would be contains "Platform"?

Thanks

J

Hi,

I am not sure how your datamodel looks like, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

Open Issues Platform Contain platform =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( 'Jira-Extract-Live' ),
    FILTER (
        'Jira-Extract-Live',
        CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Jira-Extract-Live'[All Labels], "Platform" )
    )
)
