Hello,
I am trying to split a string to create a list so I can flag all items that are part of my string and are found in the data table. Unfortunately I cannot do this in Power Query, so I'm trying to do this in a DAX measure.
As as example, my string [List to Check] = "Strawberry, Grapes".
I tried the following measure to split it into a list:
Data Table:
Item
Apple |
Pear |
Orange |
Grapes |
Watermelon |
Strawberry |
I get the following error:
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! My list is not numerical, I have clearly specified that the value is text. Would anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate any help!
Thank you!

@newpbiuser01 why you are using VALUE function here :
VALUE ( PATHITEM ( mymeasure, [Value],TEXT ) )

Hi @parry2k,
I'm using the Value function to get the actual value of the string. You did point out correctly though! Once I remove the Value function, the measure works perfectly! Thank you so much. I couldn't understand why it wouldn't work!
