Contains Operator in a Measure
Is there a way you can use a contains like operator in a measure?
What I am trying to do here is filter all activity types that CONTAINS "Call"
Hi actzikas ，
First you need to create a calculated column to check whether the selected line has the value you need:
Column = CONTAINSSTRING('Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)'[Activity Type],"Call")Then you can calculate the numbers of calls using a measure:
Measure = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)),'Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)'[Column]=True())Finally it will show similarly to my sample data as below:

Don't forget to give thumbs up 👍and accept this as a solution if this helps you.Yes, I saw that article but how would you use it in the above example I created?
I tried
Number of Calls = CALCULATE(Count('Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)'[Activity Type]), Contains('Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)', 'Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)'[Activity Type] = "Call" ))
And that didn't work Tahreem24
Create 2 fields to accomplish your requirement:
Calculated Column = SEARCH("Call",'Renewal Activity'[Activity Type],1,0)
Measure = CALCULATE(COUNT('Renewal Activity'[Offsite Data]),[Calcualted Column],'Renewal Activity'[Activity Type])
I have created sample for
