I am using Filter in Power BI to filter all rows of table containg a word in specific column. When i use hardcoded string "elements" as in example below, the Filter works fine.
FilteredTabel = FILTER(
FeedbackNouns,FIND(
"elements",'FeedbackNouns'[FeedbackTokens],,0)
>0)
But when i replace the string with the measure, it does not works. Below is the code i am using.
FilteredTabel = FILTER(
FeedbackNouns,FIND(
[selected word],'FeedbackNouns'[FeedbackTokens],,0)
>0)
What am i doing wrong ? As the resulted table in both cases should be same, because string and [selected word] are same. (Yes, i have verified that [selected word] conatains the same string).
