filter and search dax

Hi 

 

I know I can filter data in power query but I am trying to create a new table where I can search text and filter data. 

 

for example.. I want to filter a particular customers name which starts with 'First%' or 'Stage%'  as we use 'like' operator in sql.

 

Thanks,

Sailaja
