DAX Direct Query - if text contains
I have managed to find a solution from a search for"Re: Conditional Columns or IF Conditions in Direct Query mode" from 04-30-2017. The link as below
With the resulting direct query as follows;
IF(Table[Name]="NEW"),"NEW", "OLD
This is for a New Column and helps to identify what are new and old items from a very large SQL server source
I am trying to use Search or ContainsString function in Direct Query mode but getting the same error that these functions are not supported in direct query model. However in the list of optimized dax functions they are listed.
Also, there is no option in the latest power bi desktop version to allow unrestricted measures in direct query mode.
Please help as this issue has become a major bottleneck for us.
Anonymous , I'm struggling with this too - did you find a good work-around?
