Hi,
I'm trying to write a statement so that if a cell within a specified column contains 2 or more specified strings then add value to another column
e.g. say I was using email To line data. If the To line (Column A) contained both "john.smith@gmail.com" and "smith.john@gmail.com" then fill Column B with "Multiple Inboxes"
delimiter used in this case between emails would be ";"
I have tried the following but does neither seem to work:
= if Text.Contains([DisplayTo], "john.smith@gmail.com") and Text.Contains([DisplayTo],"smith.john@gmail.com") then "Multiple Inboxes"
else "Not Applicable")
= if Text.Contains([DisplayTo], "john.smith@gmail.com" and "smith.john@gmail.com") then "Multiple Inboxes"
else "Not Applicable")
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
I think first codes should be correct.
=
if Text.Contains([DisplayTo], "john.smith@gmail.com") and Text.Contains([DisplayTo],"smith.john@gmail.com") then "Multiple Inboxes"
else "Not Applicable"
Please make sure the specified strings in your code are correct. In my sample it works.
