Hi,
I'm trying to create something that will get me let's say #TopPlan in a column that contains multiple other values. For example
The first column is where all the values are and the second column is a measure I created using dax contains and I wanted anything that says #TopPlan but as you can see it only shows true when it is just only #TopPlan is in it
Any idea I can get the rest of #TopPlan with other values as well?
Thanks

Hi @powerbiwork
Download PBIX file with these examples.
In Power Query you can add a Custom Column
Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each if Text.Contains([TextCol], "#TopPlan") then true else false)
Or in DAX create a Calculated Column
Column = IF(SEARCH("#TopPlan", 'TextTable'[TextCol],,0)>0, True , False)

Hi,
I suggest you use the SEARCH() function as a calculated column. Please read more here - SEARCH function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs
