Filters with various conditions

Hello Community! I ask you a query: I need to generate a filter, which should actually be an "Advanced Filter", which basically has to do is that when a word has certain characters, I filter the word. In SQL it would be something like "ANA%" (Everything that has the word ANA and has more characters), "LOG", "% ADA%", etc. Now, Power BI has the advanced filter function, but this does not allow to put more than two conditions. Something like "Contains X" And / or "Contains Y". I need to add more than two conditions to my filter. How can this be done? Thanks!

    Hi Anonymous ,

    I would go with a measure, e.g.:

    Filter Measure = IF(LEFT(SELECTEDVALUE(Column[Table]), 2) = "A1" && ..., 1)

    Then, on the filter panel, filter "Filter Measure" to 1 and the visual will "inherit" the selected filters in the measure.

    You can also refer to this link.


    Best Regards,

    Eduardo

    Hello how are you?
    Have you considered the possibility of using the Smart Filter by OKVIZ visual?
