Hi,
I have a column like below.
I want to return rows which contain let's say VVS150.
How to do this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
TEST=
var VVS = SEARCH("VVS"; Warehouse[Item Name]; 1; BLANK())
RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(VVR); "Undefined"; MID(Warehouse[Item Name]; VVS+4; 3))
Hi @pawelj795
for example you can create a calculated column
_isContain = IF(SEARCH("VVS150", [Column]) > 0, TRUE(), FALSE())
then filter in visual by this new column
or
to create a new calculated table
_newTable = FILTER(Table, SEARCH("VVS150", Table[Column]) > 0)

It's a only a bit of much complicated function, so it must end in one formula.
I ask differently.
From above screenshot I want to RETURN three digits.
Where is my mistake?
try to replace BlANK() to 0 in your var statement - MID should have a digit second argument, BlANK() will provide an expected error
or try to obtain MID in if like
IF(ISBLANK(VVR); "Undefined"; MID(Warehouse[Item Name];VVS;3))
@az38
Your first solution return same error.
But I can't understand your second idea.
What VVR and "Undefined" in your statement mean?
it will check - if VVR returns BLANK() value then column wll be equal "Undefined" or anything you want instead. If VVR returns digit it will execute MID() function
@az38
Now error dissappear 😉
Moving to the next.
I want to return respectively 180,100,075,075,021,040 -> How to modify my function?
ok
TEST=
var VVS = SEARCH("VVS"; Warehouse[Item Name]; 1; BLANK())
RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(VVR); "Undefined"; MID(Warehouse[Item Name]; VVS+3; 3))
TEST=
var VVS = SEARCH("VVS"; Warehouse[Item Name]; 1; BLANK())
RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(VVR); "Undefined"; MID(Warehouse[Item Name]; VVS+4; 3))
