Been playing with the FIND and SEARCH functions and believe there is an issue with FIND. Was wondering if anyone else could confirm before I submit an issue or bug report. Essentially, wildcards do not seem to work at all with FIND despite the documentation that they do.

They work fine with SEARCH.
@ me in replies or I'll lose your thread!!!

Hi @Greg_Deckler,
I can also reproduce the same issue with the latest version(2.54.4970.761 64-bit (January 2018)) of Power BI Desktop. 
Column = FIND("?SA",'Country Population'[Country Name],,-1)
Column 2 = SEARCH("?SA",'Country Population'[Country Name],,-1)
Regards
