Help with SEARCH for multiple Values from one Column (Is my logic flawed or my syntax?)

[gazzo1967]

Hi All
Just looking for some direction 😊
I have a formula that is working fine.

COUNT_WCdr = CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS(GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA),

    SEARCH("Watch Commander",GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TITLE],,0)

    && SEARCH("(OPS)",GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TYPE],,0)

       )+0

As you can see it searches from 2 different columns and works fine.
So my question is why does the formula not work when add another search from one of the columns used as an OR

Example

COUNT_WCdr = CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS(GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA),

    SEARCH("WCdr",GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TITLE],,0)

    && SEARCH("(OPS)",GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TYPE],,0)

    || SEARCH("Department",GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TYPE],,0)              /*added parameter*/

    )+0

Any help given is great and another learning step for me 😎

Hi @gazzo1967 ,

Please have a try.

Modify the formula.

COUNT_WCdr =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA ),
    (
        SEARCH ( "Watch Commander", GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TITLE],, 0 )
            && SEARCH ( "(OPS)", GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TYPE],, 0 )
    )
        (|| SEARCH ( "Department", GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TYPE],, 0 )) + 0
)

I also tried this

COUNT_WCdr = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA),
CONTAINS(GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA,
GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TITLE], "Watch Commander"),
OR( CONTAINS(GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA, GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TYPE], "(OPS)"), CONTAINS(GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA, GN_EMPLOYEE_DATA[JOB_TYPE], "Department") ) )

But i get a syntax of too many CONTAINS
