How to select mutiple items from a List

Hi there,

 

 I am trying to narrow down a list using a couple of criteria using Text. Contains I have used the below formula but no luck so far

 

          = List.Select(Custom2, each Text.Contains(_,"Project"),and Text.Contains(_,"Books"))

Hi, replace comma with space over here

 

"Project"),and

 

as an option consider this line of code

= List.Select(Source, (x) => List.Contains({"Books", "Project"}, x, (w, z) => Text.Contains(z, w)))

thanks a lot, the initial solution brought a blank list but when I changed "and" to "or" it totally worked.
