We are using Azure Dev Ops as our source and pulling it into Power BI.
Our work items contains a bunch of tags in a specific schema.
I want to be able to search if a work item contains a specific word in the tags field (i.e. Animal:XXX; House:XXXXX; )
So i want it to look for House: and than pull the House data into a new column. Is this possible?
@Sopanda I am not following you. Do you like to match and catch a row from 2 different tables or all in the same table? Please share your sample data replicate to be able to help you better

Thanks for replying so quick.
Here's a table and the outcome of what I want to achieve.
If I got you right, it it a really simple problem:
in Power Query you can easily use split by delimeter, then choose by ; on the delimeter type and finally you will have 3 different columns as you wish. You can change the column headers as your wish.
hope it helpI hope this helps.
If it does, please Mark as a solution.
I also appreciate Kudos.
What if it's something like this?
I want to be able to search if the Tags field contains Animal: or House: and have it pull whatever information is between that and the next semicolon (;). Is there a good if statement that can fulfil this?
