Measure 'Contains' multiple.
- 1 year ago
Hi JimmyBos,
The issue with SUMX(SearchTerms) was that SearchTerms was defined as a list instead of a table, and DAX functions like SUMX require a table as the first argument. To fix this, SELECTCOLUMNS was used to convert SearchTerms into a one-column table. Additionally, the expression CONTAINSSTRING(Description, SearchTerms) was incorrect because SearchTerms was not a column reference. The fix involved changing SearchTerms to [Term], which correctly references the column from the newly created table.
Here is the code that worked for me with the sample data I have takenBoutenMoerenTest = VAR SearchTerms = ADDCOLUMNS( DATATABLE("Term", STRING, { {"Tapbout"}, {"Moer, zeskant"}, {"Moer, zelfborgend"}, {"Carosseriering"}, {"Stafstaal"}, {"Sluitring"}, {"Onderlegring"}, {"Draadstang"}, {"Lasstiftbout"}, {"Assemblage"}, {"Dummy"}, {"Slotbout"}, {"Stelschroef"} } ), "Match", IF(CONTAINSSTRING(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[description]), [Term]), 1, 0) ) VAR escription = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[description]) RETURN IF( NOT ISBLANK(escription) && SUMX(SearchTerms, [Match]) > 0, TRUE(), FALSE() )

Hi JimmyBos,
Please use a different variable name instead of "Description" in your DAX code, as it may conflict with a reserved keyword or cause syntax issues. I encountered the same error previously, which is why I changed the variable name in the DAX code I shared with you.

Hello Jimmy,
You can try below measure
Bouten&Moeren =
VAR SearchTerms =
{"Tapbout", "Moer, zeskant", "Moer, zelfborgend", "Carosseriering",
"Stafstaal", "Sluitring", "Onderlegring", "Draadstang",
"Lasstiftbout", "Assemblage", "Dummy", "Slotbout", "Stelschroef"}
VAR Description = SELECTEDVALUE(POStuklijst[description])
RETURN
IF(
NOT ISBLANK(Description) &&
SUMX(SearchTerms, CONTAINSSTRING(Description, [Value])) > 0,
TRUE(),
FALSE()
)
Thanks,
Pankaj

Hello pankajnamekar25 , Thanks you for the reply. This is what i am looking for but there is an error left.
The syntaxis for Description is incorrect. (DAX(VAR SearchTerms={"Tapbout"............} VAR Description = SELECTEDVALUE(POStuklijst[Description])RETURNIF(NOT ISBLANK(Description)&&SUMX(SearchTerms, CONTAINSSTRING(Description, [Value]...
Any idea how to fix this one?

Hello pankajnamekar25 , I tried your solution, but no unfortunately no succes. The error remains the same. I think there might be an issue with 'VAR Description = SELECTEDVALUE(POStuklijst[description])'.
