Replicating Qlikview function in Power

[jak8282]

Hi,

I have the following in Qlikview

// Test records:

if(wildmatch(lower(FIRST_NAME),'*dummy*','*regression*',' test*','test *','*condition*','*invalid*')>0 or wildmatch(lower(LAST_NAME),'*dummy*','*regression*',' test*','test *','*condition*','*invalid*')>0
or wildmatch(lower(ADDRESS1),'*dummy*','*regression*','*condition*','*invalid*')>0 or wildmatch(lower(EMAIL_ADDRESS),'*dummy*','*regression*',' test*','test *','*condition*','*invalid*')>0
or wildmatch(lower(CITY),'*dummy*','*regression*',' test*','test *','*condition*','*invalid*')>0
,'Test Records','Clients') as Status,

How would I go about replicating that in Powerbi, does a conditional column accept wildcards?

Thanks

C

Hi @jak8282 ,

Based on your description, I'd like to suggest you use FIND(), SEARCH(), CONTAINSSTRING(), CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT().

Here is the functions for text.

1. Text connection functions :  

CONCATENATE(<text1>, <text2>)
CONCATENATEX(<table>, <expression>, [delimiter])
COMBINEVALUES(<delimiter>, <expression>, <expression>[, <expression>]…)
DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(DimDate, "Month", COMBINEVALUES(",", [MonthName], [CalendarYear])))

2. Text search functions : 

FIND(<find_text>, <within_text>[, [<start_num>][, <NotFoundValue>]])  
SEARCH(<find_text>, <within_text>[, [<start_num>][, <NotFoundValue>]]) 
CONTAINSSTRING(<within_text>, <find_text>) 
CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT(<within_text>, <find_text>)

3. Formatting text functions : 

FIXED(<number>, <decimals>, <no_commas>)  
FORMAT(<value>, <format_string>)

4. Intercepting text functions : 

LEFT(<text>, <num_chars>)
RIGHT(<text>, <num_chars>)  
MID(<text>, <start_num>, <num_chars>) 

5. Replace text : 

REPLACE(<old_text>, <start_num>, <num_chars>, <new_text>)  
SUBSTITUTE(<text>, <old_text>, <new_text>, <instance_num>) 

Thanks ,

Thanks Pratuashamal , can you use wildcards in those functions?

In place of wildcard try to use FIND(), SEARCH(), CONTAINSSTRING(), CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT().
The Qlik function needs to be rewritten.
