Count IF between 2 tables

Hey,   I've tried to create a new table (table1) for counting links, if they are in the other table ( the libary-table). If the links are in the libary, I want to know how often they are in table1...

Hi DaveRaul,

 

You can create a calculated columns in the table like below:

 

Column = var t=LEFT('Table1'[Target - URL],SEARCH("/",'Table1'[Target - URL])-1)
return
RIGHT(t,LEN(t)-SEARCH(".",t))

 

Count = IF( RELATED( 'Library'[Library -  URL] ) <> BLANK(), CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( Table1 ), ALLEXCEPT( Table1, Table1[Column] ) ) )

    Thank you very much for the answer.

     

    I tried your code but it does not work properly :-/

    I got the following problem:

    If the string is extactly the same or of it is seperated by '/', it does work, .

    But the code has to recognize the Url, if the Url just contains the library-Url-String. 

    In Excel one can write an asterisk like: if("cde"="*d*","Yes","No")

    in this case i want the response "Yes", but your code deliveres for this case "No".

     

    I realised this wasn't exactly formulated. Sorry for that.

      Hi DaveRaul,

       

      In DAX, it doesn't have function perform as wildcards. The DAX provided in my previous reply is based on your sample data, as you mentioned it will not work, can you please share the sample to clarify which scenario doesn't work?
