Hi all,
How do I create a column that states IF any of 'Reference1', 'Reference2' and 'Reference3' contain text then 'Yes' and if not then 'No'?
Thanks,
Henry
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you want to create a new column in a table, try:
Ref contain Text? =
VAR calc1 = CALCULATE(MAX(Data[Ref 1]); ALLEXCEPT(Data; Data[Index]))
VAR calc2 = CALCULATE(MAX(Data[Ref 2]); ALLEXCEPT(Data; Data[Index]))
Var calc3 = CALCULATE(MAX(Data[Ref 3]); ALLEXCEPT(Data; Data[Index]))
Return
IF(ISTEXT(calc1) || ISTEXT(calc2) || ISTEXT(calc3); "Yes"; "No")
Which will get you this output:

Try Like
if(SEARCH("abc", table[reference1],1,0) >0 && SEARCH("abc", table[reference2],1,0) >0
&& && SEARCH("abc", table[reference3],1,0) >0,"Yes","No")Appreciate your Kudos. In case, this is the solution you are looking for, mark it as the Solution. In case it does not help, please provide additional information and mark me with @
