Find a String Pattern in a Column using DAX

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

QtyLogonTran_DateItem_Nbr
-100memwauser:MEM.MAIN9/17/202444675F|20
-100memwauser:MEM.MAIN10/15/202444152F|20
1,313cmurray:CBC.MAIN9/17/202443807|01
1,313joldenburg:CBC.MAIN9/17/202443807|01

 

Final Result should look like 

QtyLogonTran_DateItem_NbrUsertype
-100memwauser:MEM.MAIN9/17/202444675F|201
-100memwauser:MEM.MAIN10/15/202444152F|201
1,313cmurray:CBC.MAIN9/17/202443807|010
1,313joldenburg:CBC.MAIN9/17/202443807|010

 

Can you please let me know how this can be achieved using DAX in Power BI Desktop ?

 

Thanks..

Hi @csb,

You may want to add the following measure to get what you need:

UserType = 
IF(CONTAINSSTRING(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Logon]), "memwauser"), 1, 0)
