Can you make this with multiple items for example by adding in || althouhg I get and error saying cannot convert value of type text to type true and false

Status = IF( CONTAINSSTRING( myTable[Markets], "40"||"50" ), "H", "W" )

Hey @Anonymous ,

you should be able to solve that with a calculated column and the function CONTAINSSTRING:

Status = IF( CONTAINSSTRING( myTable[Markets], "40" ), "H", "W" )

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Hey @selimovd 

Your response here really helped me, thank you!

I need to add an AND statement, but it's not working. Can you advise me please?

It would look something like this 

IF (CONTAINS STRING (Table Y [Column], "A"), AND CONTAINS STRING (Table X [Column], "A"), "B",  "C")

Thank you!

Hey @Carrhill ,

sure, you can combine them with the AND function:

Status =
IF (
    AND (
        CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table Y'[Column], "A" ),
        CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table X'[Column], "A" )
    ),
    "B",
    "C"
)

Or you can combine them with two &&:

Status =
IF (
    CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table Y'[Column], "A" ) && CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table X'[Column], "A" ),
    "B",
    "C"
)

Both should work the same way.

If you need any help please let me know.
