Hi,
I have a column A that contains sentences. In column B, I want to search for particular words in Column A. if a particular word is found in Column A, then I want to return the value that was found, rather than a true/ false value, or the starting position number of the word found. I have looked at text.contains in the M language, and in DAX, have looked at SEARCH, RELATED, MID etc. but nothing seems to give me what I wanted.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Patricia
Hi @PK316,
By my test, you could create a calculated column with the formula below.
check = IF ( FIND ( "you", 'Sheet14'[Text],, 0 ) <> 0, "you", BLANK () )
Then you could get the output below.
Hope it can help you!
Best Regards,
Cherry
Thank you for this response. The problem is that I have a list of search terms that I want to use, and dependent on the search term found, the value for to be returned if true will be different thus needs to be read from a list also and not hardcoded.
The search formula work fine to me:
User | Count |
---|---|
120 | |
69 | |
68 | |
57 | |
50 |
User | Count |
---|---|
166 | |
82 | |
68 | |
65 | |
54 |
