I have a requirement to find whether a string given in Logon column contains a 'wauser' pattern ornot . If it contains the pattern it should return 1,if not 0.
I have data shown below
| Qty | Logon | Tran_Date | Item_Nbr |
| -100 | memwauser:MEM.MAIN | 9/17/2024 | 44675F|20 |
| -100 | memwauser:MEM.MAIN | 10/15/2024 | 44152F|20 |
| 1,313 | cmurray:CBC.MAIN | 9/17/2024 | 43807|01 |
| 1,313 | joldenburg:CBC.MAIN | 9/17/2024 | 43807|01 |
Final Result should look like
| Qty | Logon | Tran_Date | Item_Nbr | Usertype |
| -100 | memwauser:MEM.MAIN | 9/17/2024 | 44675F|20 | 1 |
| -100 | memwauser:MEM.MAIN | 10/15/2024 | 44152F|20 | 1 |
| 1,313 | cmurray:CBC.MAIN | 9/17/2024 | 43807|01 | 0 |
| 1,313 | joldenburg:CBC.MAIN | 9/17/2024 | 43807|01 | 0 |
Can you please let me know how this can be achieved using DAX in Power BI Desktop ?
Thanks..
