Custom Column

Hello,

 

I have a column of data (Column A) that has multiple values within it (Classifications) separated only by commas. I only need some of those values to be considered (List of Specific Classifications) for my new column (Column B). I am unfamiliar with Dax and need help with the language.

 

I need to create a column that will follow this logic:

 

Column B = if (Column A) contains 2 different values from (List of Specific Classifications), then Y, else N.

 

Is this possible with Dax? Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thank you for your tips. I am unable to share the data as it is confidential, but will try what was suggested.

It can be fake data, sample of what you have.

You need to share data, otherwise we are just guessing. I think this belongs in Power Query by parsing your data into a list, then using List.Contains() to find hits. But until I see the data, I won't know.
