Hello,
As always, I apologise if this is common knowledge within Power Bi.
How do I go about finding & counting exact text, within a string-- For Example, I want to find comments that contain the isolated phrase "TU". However, the formula I am currently using counts comments that contains a word with TU within it ("Turntable", "Tubby").
The Current formula I am using is:
I am aware of how to do it within Excel, but I am struggling to bring it into Power BI.
Any help, would be greatly appreciated!

@finno14 , Try CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT
CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT('ssc_db_001 ga_report'[Comment], "TU")

@amitchandak Thank you for this... However if I could be cheeky and add another layer, often I will be looking for multiple keywords within a large data set, grouped together ie count incidents with "TU" & "BU" within the comments . however, if both key words are within the same text, I believe it counts 2 instead of 1? Is it possible to amend this?
Thank you again for your help.
Hi @finno14 ,
Try this
Column = CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT([Column1],"TU")|| CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT([Column1],"BU")
CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT returns True/False. How do you want to count?

Hi @v-stephen-msft,
Sorry for my delayed response, I have not had access to the site.
Ideally I would like to count each incident where "TU" or "BU" appears in a comment/ text string, but only count once if one of them appears within a sentence. The Original formula and the one accepted as a solution- Counts 2 if TU & BU appear in the same text string as opposed to 1.
I hope I have coveyed my message well!
Kind regards,
Alex
