Position in Array

[Anonymous]

Hi,

i have an array with data from Micrsoft Forms like:

["other","option 1", "option2","otpion3"]

The OTHER is a free text, you can witre anything, i already create a column for each Option1/2/3 and count every time that question come in array.

My problem is determinte when the user choose the Other option.

My idea is determiate what cames in first place in array and if is diferent from Option 1/2/3 Create new column and write 1.

Can help with that?

Hi @v-cherch-msft ,

Let me know if understand this exemple.

Windows Forms Survey (Same question, differents answers)

Q1. Exmple1:

• Answer 1 (selected by user)
• Answer 2 (selected by user)
• Answer 3
• Other: ____Free Text__________ (selected by user)

Layout of array write in SQL Table

[“Free text”, “Answer 1”,” Answer 2”]

Q1. Exmple2:

• Answer 1 (selected by user)
• Answer 2 (selected by user)
• Answer 3
• Other: ____________

Layout of array write in SQL Table;

[ “Answer 1”,” Answer 2”]

The problem is when the user chooses de other option, but the string always came  in 1st position of array.

Column 1 = IF(SEARCH("Answer 1";(Survey_View[Exmple1]);1;0);1;0)

Column 2 = IF(SEARCH("Answer 2";( Survey_View[Exmple2]);1;0);1;0)

Column 3 = ???

RETURN PowerBI

User	Q1	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
USER 1	[ “Answer 1”,” Answer 2”]	1	1	0
USER 2	[ “Answer 1”]	1	0	0
USER 3	[ “Free Text”,” Answer 2”]	0	1	1

Hi @Anonymous 

Please check if below formula could help you.

Answer 1 = 
VAR FirstText =
    PATHITEM ( SUBSTITUTE ( Question[Q1], ",", "|" ), 1 )
RETURN
    IF ( SEARCH ( "Answer 1", FirstText, 1, 0 ), 1, 0 )
