Question about Find and Qlik's wildmatch.

I have a doubt, probably similar to this one: Solved: Qliksense Wildmatch -> Power BI DAX - Microsoft Power BI Community

 

I looked at the answers there, but could not find how to manage it exactly. In Qlik with the command:

if(wildmatch(Product, 'Altus Mod'), 'Altus Mod'

 

It searches the text "Altus Mod" in the Product field and loads it as "Altus Mod". That's very useful when we have fields with lots of information and we need to extract some. How can I do it with DAX? In Qlik it is used in the load, is there anything similar in Power Query?

 

Thank you.

You need to create a column

 

if( search("Altus Mod",[Product],,0) >0 , "Altus Mod", [Product])

You can take a look at the following blog to know about the string comparisons in Dax:
