    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    you should be able to solve that with a calculated column and the function CONTAINSSTRING:

    Status = IF( CONTAINSSTRING( myTable[Markets], "40" ), "H", "W" )

     

    If you need any help please let me know.

Hey selimovd 

Your response here really helped me, thank you!

 

I need to add an AND statement, but it's not working. Can you advise me please?

 

It would look something like this 

IF (CONTAINS STRING (Table Y [Column], "A"), AND CONTAINS STRING (Table X [Column], "A"), "B",  "C")

 

Thank you!

Hey Carrhill ,

 

sure, you can combine them with the AND function:

Status =
IF (
    AND (
        CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table Y'[Column], "A" ),
        CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table X'[Column], "A" )
    ),
    "B",
    "C"
)

 

Or you can combine them with two &&:

Status =
IF (
    CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table Y'[Column], "A" ) && CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table X'[Column], "A" ),
    "B",
    "C"
)

 

Both should work the same way.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
