Hello Power BI masters!
I faced with a difficulty to make the right conditional expression with logic "OR".
I have table like this:
| Ticket number | Title | Description | Keyword |
| 1234 | I like bananas | bananas are the best | Apples |
| 12345 | I like bananas | but apples more | Apples |
| 54321 | I like apples | and nothing more | Apples |
I want to add an additional column to my table which will check whether columns Title or Description contains any word in Keyword column. If any of them contains it - then 1. If noone contains - then 0.
I can check it perfectly checking in 1 column like:
Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Keywords", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Description], [KeyWords.1]) then 1 else 0)
But I don't fully understand how to add "OR" condition here correctly.
May be "IN" needs to be used here... but I'm a bit lost...
Could you please advise?
Thank you very much in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Use
Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Keywords", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Description], [KeyWords.1]) or Text.Contains([Title], [KeyWords.1]) then 1 else 0)
Since you have got case-sensitivity
= Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Description], [Keyword.1], Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) or Text.Contains([Title], [Keyword.1], Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) then 1 else 0)
Use
Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Keywords", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Description], [KeyWords.1]) or Text.Contains([Title], [KeyWords.1]) then 1 else 0)
Since you have got case-sensitivity
= Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Description], [Keyword.1], Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) or Text.Contains([Title], [Keyword.1], Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) then 1 else 0)
Thank you, @Vijay_A_Verma but it's strange, that in case of 2nd formula use, it adds the whole initial table too (double the initial table + adds a custom column).
Also custom column often shows an error inside or only 0. But there are tickets that have the word "Apples" inside. Do you know what could go wrong?
Replace #"Renamed Columns" with your previous step.
I want to see some sample data where it shows error or 0?
I guess I found out a possible reason why it could happen - if one of the columns is blank - in this case it showed error.
