Search is not behaving

I could have the simplest of solutions if I could get the SEARCH function to work (as it does in a slicer-search or with the Text Search Visual, in a calculated column or measure. My scenario is that...

    You can try this measure expression to return a 1 when one of the manager columns matches your slicer value.  I assume your slicer values are in a disconnected table.  Replace Slicer and Table with your actual table names.

     

     

    IsMatch =
    VAR slicer =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Manager] )
    RETURN
        IF (
            NOT (
                ISBLANK (
                    COUNTROWS (
                        FILTER (
                            ALLSELECTED ( Table ),
                            Table[Manager1] = slicer
                                || Table[Manager2] = slicer
                        )
                    )
                )
            ),
            1
        )
    

     

     

    If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

    Hi Anonymous ,

    Search() function is used to return the number of the starting position of the first text string from the first character of the second text string. It will not be applied in this issue.

    You can try to create a measure like this:

    Result = 
    var _managers = SELECTEDVALUE(Managers[Managers])
    var _manager1 = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[manager1])
    var _manager2 = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[manager2])
    return
    IF(
        HASONEFILTER(Managers[Managers]),
        IF(
            _managers = _manager1 || _managers = _manager2,
            "yes",
            "no"
        ),
        "error"
    )

    before slicerafter slicer

    Attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.
