Count if DAX measure needed for 'Contains' text filter

Hi nmckeown1,

Try this:

VAR BlockingFilter =
FILTER (
    VALUES ( 'Table'[sign_posting] ),
    SEARCH ( "Blocking", 'Table'[sign_posting],, -1 ) <> -1
)

RETURN
CALCULATE (
    [Total Clients],
    BlockingFilter
)

(P.S.: Don't filter a whole table in your FILTER function. That tends to result in poor performance because you're retrieving columns you don't actually need.)
