    Hi Jebilaya ,

     

    You need to add the additonal parameter of the SEARCH funcion so your SEARCH should be similar to this:

     

     

    SEARCH( "/", 'Table'[Column1],1,1)

     

     

    https://dax.guide/search/

     

    Has you can see in the documentation if you ommit the last parameter it returns an error.

     

    I have placed 1 so that when you do the -1 it does not trow an error on the left text.
