Tricky - Text Count first 8 letters

Hi Experts

 

I have several columns with text in each column that start with the word MATERIAL - blah blah etc.... i to be able to count those fields that start with the word material as opposed to typing in the full text each time...

 

My current measure is

Countrows(filter(App Forms, [Impact]="Material")) which is not working....

Need Help

    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    try the following approach:

    Rows with Material =
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS( 'App Forms' ),
    LEFT( 'App Forms'[Impact], 8 ) = "Material"
)

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
