Detect No before Yes
Hello,
I am trying to create a new measure or calculated column that will detect if "no" exists before "yes" within a row. If this instance does exist, the value would equal "1" or "true", and if this instance does not exist within that row, the value would equal "no" or "false". There are a total of 23 columns. Other values would possibly exist within this row , like "N/A" for example, but these would not matter when it comes to the result of no before yes.
Note: The no would not need to exist directly before the yes. For example, the row could read "No" "No" "Yes" "N/A" "No" "Yes"
Simply because a no reads before a yes within the row, the value would have to be "1" or "true".
Please help by providing a calculated column or a measure, thank you in advance.
In the query editor, you add a column with this formula:
List.PositionOf(Record.FieldValues(_), "No") < List.PositionOf(Record.FieldValues(_), "Yes")
if you need a case-insensitve check, you transfer to lower like this:
List.PositionOf(Record.FieldValues(Text.Lower(_)), "no") < List.PositionOf(Record.FieldValues(Text.Lower(_)), "yes")
