Post PatronSearch for multiple text in one column with OR
I'm trying to find all records in inventry[part] that equal "Ice" or "Gel" to say "Cold"
This formula is not working...help please :-)
55a_ColdDrinks = IF(
ISERROR(
SEARCH(OR("Ice", "Gel"), Inventry[Part])
),
"Cold",
blank ()
)Hi unclejemima,
Please try this:
55a_ColdDrinks = SWITCH ( TRUE (), SEARCH ( "Ice", Inventry[Part], 1, 0 ) > 0, "Cold", SEARCH ( "Gel", Inventry[Part], 1, 0 ) > 0, "Cold", BLANK() )Alternatively, with Power Query, you can populate the search text into list and create custom function to iterator each one of them to check if within the text. Reference: How to search multiple strings in a string.
Best regards,
