Hello, I have two tables which are joined. One table has column with Dataquality issue, so my goal is try to find if there are is similar text between two tables.
Table1: Column1: United States of America
Table2: Column1: America.
I want TRUE as America is in both tables
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
In Power Query rename your columns to Phrase and Searchword, to make life easier ...
Table1: Phase:
United States of America
America has a president
Made in France
China has a red flag
Made in Italy on 2019
Table2: Searchword:
America
Italy
India
In Power Query in Table 1 add this custom column
=List.ContainsAny(
Text.Split([Phrase], " "),
Table2[Searchord]
)
The column will return true or false depending if the phrase contains any of the search word
List.ContainsAny(
Text.Split([Phrase], " "),
Table2[Word]
)
Thanks for reaching out for help.

If you give someone a fish then you only give them one meal, but if you teach them how to fish then they can feed themselves and teach others for a lifetime. I prefer to teach members on this forum techniques rather give full solutions and do their job. You can then adapt the technique for your solution, learn some DAX skills for next time and soon become a Power BI Super User like me.
One question per ticket please. If you need to extend your request then please raise a new ticket.
You will get a quicker response and each volunteer solver will get the kudos they deserve. Thank you !
