I want to write a measure to check if a column contains certain numerical values that I specify. These values are something like "2022, 2021, 2019" and may change.
I looked at various formulas and it looks like CONTAINS(Table, ColumnName, Value) can be used for this. But how do I specify something like {2022, 2021, 2019} in the Value argument? I want to store this as a variable so that it can be changed easily later instead of writing extensive if else statements.
If CONTAINS is in fact not suitable, I would appreciate an alternative solution. I've looked for hours and couldnt find anything similar to m code's List.ContainsAny({1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {3, 9}).

Hi @Nie ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) This is my test data.
(2) Create a parameter of type number.
(3) Then we can create a measure.
Measure =
var _a = SELECTCOLUMNS('Parameter',"Value",[Parameter])
var _b = ADDCOLUMNS(_a,"Flag",IF([Value] in SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Target",[Column1]),1,0))
var _c = COUNTX(_a,[Value])
return SUMX(_b,[Flag])=_c
(4)Then the result is as follows.
