Hi all
I'm trying to countrows of a column that contain different regions. My column looks similar to this:
[Region]
ANZ
ANZ, Americas
ANZ, EMEA
EMEA, Americas
I want to countrows (presumably will use a filter) but not [Region] = "ANZ" as that won't pick up the ANZ in the other rows. where it is combined with another region. What can I use to count the times ANZ appears in the column, regardless of the other values in the cell.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

May be
Measure =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( Table1[Region] ),
SEARCH ( "ANZ", Table1[Region], 1, 0 ) > 0
)

Thank you! This is great.
Could I just ask why the >0 sits at the end (so I understand it all) ?
