If contains function with a filter

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've got a holiday table with dates (like xmas) which is an import of SQL and I've got a own created date table (with weekdays, month, date from Date Dimension table). Now I want to know which date is an holiday. I've did this with 

Holiday = IF(CONTAINS(CalendarEntry;CalendarEntry[StartTime];'Date'[Date]);"Yes";"No")

That works fine but I've got a problem that I've got Dutch and German Holidays in the same table (in 'CalendarEntry'[StartTime]). So I need to filter them ... The name (text) I can use is in CalendarEntry'[ModifiedBy] but I've tried a lot but no succes 😞

Anyone?

Because of my regional settings I need to use ; instead of ,

Try

Holiday =
IF (
    CONTAINS (
        FILTER ( CalendarEntry; CalendarEntry[ModifiedBy] = "German" );
        CalendarEntry[StartTime]; 'Date'[Date]
    );
    "Yes";
    "No"
)

Hope this helps

Hi David,

Thnx for your reply

I've tried the folowing code (copy of your code and replace the filter value)

Holiday = 
IF (
    CONTAINS (
        FILTER ( CalendarEntry; CalendarEntry[ModifiedBy] = "Esther");
        CalendarEntry[StartTime]; 'Date'[Date]
    );
    "Yes";
    "No"
)

And it works 🙂 Thnx for helping me!
