Check if the expressions in a column include any of the words in a list

Hello,
I am looking to perform the action provided in the tutorial below, with the Powerbi software

Can you help me with this request, please?

Hi @janusd27 

Does your function mean:

cell B=if cell A1 contains "NBR" value, then return "NBR', else null(blank).

If so, you could create a conditional column in Home-> Edit queries->Add column,

Or create a calculated column in Modeling->New column

Hello @janusd27

The article describes how to do with Powerquerry, but I am looking to achieve it with Powerbi and not excel

Hello @janusd27 

 

Powerquery is part of PowerBI so I don't get the point and is just the same

 

Jimmy

I am also looking for the equivalent of the formula below with Powerbi

=SI(NB.SI(A1;"*NBR*");"NBR";"")
