How can I group rows based on certain special characters
For example here is a chart
Category Value
razor 10
disposable razor 11
shave 0
razor for men 2
shampoo 5
razors 21
I want to group by rows with the key word razor, even if the colomn name is not distinctly 'razors'. The calculated value in this example would be 10+11+2+21 = 44
Hi Anonymous ,
How about this:
And here the measure:
RazorMeasure = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Value] ), SEARCH ( "Razor", Table[Category], 1, BLANK() ) )Does this solve your issue?

How about this:
RazorMeasure2 = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Value] ), SEARCH ( "Razor", Table[Category], 1, BLANK() ) || SEARCH ( "Shampoo", Table[Category], 1, BLANK() ) )Please consider marking this reply as a solution, if it solves your issue. 🙂

This is how you can accomplish the result using Power Query:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WKkqsyi9S0lEyNFCK1YlWSsksLsgvTkzKSVWAyxiCZYozEstSgVyIOrCkQhoQ56bmAUWNYGpyC/LzgXxThKpikDTQjFgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Category = _t, Value = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Category", type text}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Contains Keyword", each Text.Contains ( [Category], "razor", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase ), type logical ), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Added Custom", {"Contains Keyword"}, {{"Sum", each List.Sum([Value]), type nullable text}}) in #"Grouped Rows"
