DAX function to identify different searches within a text irrespective of case sensitive

Hi Everyone,

 

This is my first post. Hope I am able to explain my query. I am basically trying to create a DAX column that mentions "COVID-19" based on the search performed in another column. The issue is that the formula that I use, I have to think and define each type that people can mention COVID-19 related expenses. For eg: Some may write COVID19,Covid19, CoVid19, COVID 19, COVID-19 etc. I need to put up a formula that can search COVID word within the text irrespective of being case sensitive and give me the answer as "COVID-19". 

 

Currently, I use this formula:

C_COVID-19 =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
FIND("COVID",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("covid",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("Covid",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("CoVid",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("COVID 19",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("covid 19",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("COVID-19",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("covid-19",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("COVID19",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
FIND("covid19",Expenses[Purpose of Expense], 1, 0) >0, "COVID-19",
"OTHER")
 

Is there a simple formula that I can use with minimal variations and that can give me the same result as above instead of defining each circumstance.

I hope to have been able to address my query. I just want to have a better formula which can search the word Covid or covid 19 and return COVID-19 in the DAX column irrespective of being case sensitive.
