Need to search specific letter and assign that Name

Hi Team,

 

I have rows that have the name as:

arvind_m_vimal

ashish_d_chopra

harsh_t_paleja

 

and I need to assign it as if _m_ appears it reflects as Mobile, if _d_ appears it reflects as  desktop and if _t_ appears then reflects as tablet otherwise hybrid.

 

 

Thanks,

Arvind

Try this:

 

Column =
IF (
    SEARCH ( "_m_", 'Table'[Name], 1, 0 ),
    "Mobile",
    IF (
        SEARCH ( "_d_", 'Table'[Name], 1, 0 ),
        "Desktop",
        IF ( SEARCH ( "_t_", 'Table'[Name], 1, 0 ), "tablet", "hybrid" )
    )
)
