Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous , You can use
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/containsstring-function-dax
calculate(count([Names]),CONTAINSSTRING([Names],"enhancement"))
or
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/search-function-dax
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/find-function-dax
You can try this approach
Projects with Enhancement = COUNTROWS(Filter(Table, SEARCH("Enhancement", Table[Project], , 0)>0))
If this works for you, please mark it as the solution. Kudos are appreciated too. Please let me know if not.
