Hello All,
I need some help please, I want to calculate using count if for a text column, i have a column with words such as boy ; girl ; child ; family ; And ; model and different other combinations for 34 lines.
I am trying to calculate count if that contains a boy (one of each in the sentence above) and it is not returning any numbers.
thank you for your help!

Hi @ ,
You can create a measure like this:-
Measure =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Column1] ),
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Column1], "boy" )
)

thank you so much, how about if i want multiple strings?
You can try like:-
Measure =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Column1] ),
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Column1], "boy" ) ||
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Column1], "girl" ) ||
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Column1], "child"
)
