Is there a DAX function that test whether or not the target is in a column?
For example, ....(x, DATA) returns TRUE() or FALSE() whether or not x is in the column
DATA

Hey,
there are two functions I would start with. The 1st function is IN (actually IN is more like an operator then a function but nevertheless ...
You can use something like this
IF(15 IN
VALUES('Calendar'[MonthNoIndex])
,"Yes"
,"No"
)This little statement checks if 15 is contained in the table returned by VALUES(). Be aware that IN checks if something in a table.
This would also work
IF(15 IN
{13, 14, 15}
,"Yes"
,"No"
)The 2nd function that can be of interest, could be CONTAINS().
I hope this gets you started.
Regards
Tom
Hi @quantfinRguy,
As @TomMartens posted, you you can create measure using IN function.
This is my sample table, please a measure using the formula below.
Measure = IF(4 IN VALUES(Test[Date]),"Yes","No")
Create a table visual to display the result.
For another thing, you can create a calculated column using the formula below to get expected result.
Column = IF(Test[Date]=4,"Yes","No")
Best Regards,
Angelia
