Hi Experts,

 I am novice to power bi and struggling with query in sql to convert in dax query.

For example :

Hi @vividarinda ,

You can create a calculated column as below to get it:

Category = 
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        LEFT([UnitNo], 2) = "77", "KBL",
        LEFT([UnitNo], 2) = "16" && MID([UnitNo], 5, 1) = "9", "Rental",
        "PETROSEA"
    )

Hi @vividarinda ,

I created  a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

Table 2 = FILTER('Table',IFERROR(SEARCH("16__9___",'Table'[TPLNR_FUNCTIONALLOC],1,0),0)=0)

Hi @Anonymous ,

DAX has a function called CONTAINSSTRING, it should work for you. 
Example:Countries ending with "land"

Evaluate
FILTER ( ALL ( Customer[CountryRegion] ), CONTAINSSTRING ( Customer[CountryRegion], "*land" ) )
