Filter a table based on string values in another table

Hi everybody,

Suppose I have the following table, "Table 1", that has a Serial Code column containing a string of text. I am trying to filter this table based on whether or not the Serial Code contains particular substrings. The substrings I want to check for are listed in another table, "Table 2".

 

Table 1 
RowSerial Code
1ABC***********
2*****************
3***DEF********
4*******XYZ****
5***ABC***DEF***
6****************
7****************
8XYZ***ABC*********
9******************
10DEF*******XYZ*****

 

Table 2
Substrings
ABC
DEF
XYZ

 

Basically the logic is: For each row in Table 1, check if the Serial Code contains any of the Substrings listed in Table 2. If yes, keep the rows. If no, filter out the rows. So the resulting table will be as below.

 

Result 
RowSerial Code
1ABC***********
3***DEF********
4*******XYZ****
5***ABC***DEF***
8XYZ***ABC*********
10DEF*******XYZ*****

 

Is this possible with DAX?

 

Thank you for reading!

@Anonymous , You can try a new column like

 

New column =
var _1 =countx( filter(Table2, search(Table2[Substrings], Table[Serial Code],,0)> 0),Table2[Substrings])
return
if(not(isblank(_1)),1, blank())
