I have a table that I need to filter out rows where 'Table1'[Name] does not contain one of many strings, this is easy to do if I only have two potential strings but in my case I have upwards of 10+ strings I need to filter out. I would prefer to do this on the report itself using visual level filters rather than in Power Query if possible.
As an example I need to exclude rows in the table below that contain one of "TEST", "DEV, or "TRAINING".
| Name |
| 3042-TEST |
| VDI-2291 |
| WIN10-DEV1 |
| KEVIN |
| TRAINING-21 |
| TRAINING-22 |
| TRAINING-23 |
| DC-CGY1 |
| SQLSVR1 |
This should return these rows only:
| Name |
| VDI-2291 |
| KEVIN |
| DC-CGY1 |
| SQLSVR1 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
@DorienM you can use the following measure
Measure =
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( t1 ),
FILTER (
t1,
CONTAINSSTRING ( t1[Name], "TEST" ) = FALSE ()
&& CONTAINSSTRING ( t1[Name], "DEV" ) = FALSE ()
&& CONTAINSSTRING ( t1[Name], "TRAINING" ) = FALSE ()
)
)

If you don't want to use a measure, the following youtube video helped me, it seems the native UI can do this if you trick it slightly!

That worked great, thanks 🙂
