If contains function with a filter

Hey guys,

Trying to find a function which would allow me to count only rows which contain in a string of text 2 specific words:

Cancelled or Expired. Cancelled could be found in  "Closed_Cancelled","Booked_Cancelled", "Cancelled_Quote_Provided"

Expired in "Quote_Expired","Booked_Expired"

What would be the formula?

True Cancelled = Calculate( Disctinctcount (Jobs[Jobs ID] ), Filter ( Jobs, Jobs[Jobs Status] Contains?"Cancelled" || Jobs[Jobs Status] Contains?"Expired")

 

Many Thanks in advance.

You can use SEARCH() in FILTER to achieve this kind of "instring" requirement. You can write your measure like below: 

 

True Cancelled =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( Jobs[Jobs ID] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( Jobs ),
        SEARCH ( "Cancelled", Jobs[Jobs Status],, BLANK () ) > 0
            || SEARCH ( "Expired", Jobs[Jobs Status],, BLANK () ) > 0
    )
)

See my sample:
