    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

     

    You may create a parameter in Power Query as below.

     

    You may create two measures as below in Power BI Desktop.

    Frequency = 
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT([Text],MAX(ParameterText[ParameterText]))
        )
    )
    First mentioned = 
    CALCULATE(
        MIN('Table'[Date]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT([Text],MAX(ParameterText[ParameterText]))
        )
    )

     

    You may click 'Transform data'=>'Edit Parameter' and then click 'Refresh' button to update the parameter's value.

     

    ParameterText="word":

    ParameterText="value":

     

    Best Regards

    Allan
