Word Count

‎01-04-2023 02:29 AM

Good Morning

 

Is there a way to complete a word count in a sentance in power bi. There is no specific icon separating the words it can vary as it is a free text field being evaluated so just need a basic word count. The aim will then be to say if less than for example 100 characters this is poor etc..

 

Preferably using DAX

 

Example:
the cow jumped over the moon - would return a count of 6.

 

Thank you
