IF & CONTAINS with Multiple Values

[Gazsim44]

Hi All, 

I am trying to write a measure which is required to lookup text values in a column and then complete a simple division if the results are true. This proved easy enough when only one value was required but now I need two - the result basically being if either of the two applies then the division will be the result, if not then it should just be blank.

The measure I had for one was as follows;

Measure = IF(CONTAINS('Data','Data'[Category],"GP"),
    DIVIDE([Current Year Actual],[Current Year Budget]))

Many thanks,

Hi @Gazsim44 

You could use the OR function.

Measure = IF(OR(CONTAINS('Data','Data'[Category],"GP"),CONTAINS('Data','Data'[Category],"Other Value")), DIVIDE([Current Year Actual],[Current Year Budget]))

Hope this helps

Thanks,
