Word Search Slicer?
Ok well her is one example of the way you can solve it.
1. create a table with all your keywords
2 cross join that table to your table you want to search
3 create an if statement that returns the colour value of the description if it contains a keyword
4 remove all other rows.
see example attached.
so must it find any of the words or be an exact match ie you want to know exactly how many are blue or, you want to know how many have any of those colours?
Any description that contains that word, whether it used to be or is lightly that color, should come up in the filter. So I guess I should have added an expected count. It should come up as Blue = 3, Green = 2, Red = 3, Yellow = 1
and one last question, is this question reflective of your real data or do you have bigger volumes of what you are searching for, and how big is your data?
Real data has about 30 columns and 4k rows
