    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.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

      Hey Anonymous ,

       

      did it work with the calculated column I proposed?

      I'm curious if you could solve this issue 🙂

      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.

    Can you make this with multiple items for example by adding in || althouhg I get and error saying cannot convert value of type text to type true and false

    Status = IF( CONTAINSSTRING( myTable[Markets], "40"||"50" ), "H", "W" )

    Joining this thread . im trying to do the same but struggling . i also have a contains. 

    i want to check if a value is in one column and another value in a different column. the tables have a direct relationship via another column :

    Column 2 = IF('PM Matrix'[Vendor Only] = "Y" ,IF(CONTAINSSTRING(RELATED('Maint  Intervals & Job Plan'[Provider Path (Reference Only)]),"VENDOR"),"Y","N"))
     
    so if the column on PM Matrix called Vendor is "Y", then, If Provider path on Maint intervals contains the word "VENDOR", then display a "Y", otherwise display a "N"
     
    any help
