Measure with IF( CONTAINSSTRING

[PetrK]

Hi 😀
Help me please
I want to create Measure like

IF(CONTAINSSTRING( table[text_col] ,"ABC"), TRUE(), FALSE())

This formula as is doesn't work. What is wrong?

You may create a column! 

CONTAINSSTRING( table[text_col] ,"ABC")

or

CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT( table[text_col] ,"ABC") (case sensitive)

You may check Youtube: ColorfulAnalysis 

CONTAINSSTRING || CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT

In meantime I found solution

SUMX(
       FILTER(
            table,
            CONTAINSSTRING(table'[string_col], "ABC")),
        1)

It come from this page

What error are you getting? Are you creating a measure or a column?

[PetrK]

Hi, I want to create Measure. this formula works in Column but in Measure it return error

"A single value for column 'table'[text_col] cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result."

There is missing some Iterator, but I don't know which one a where it must be placed in code.

Since you don't want a calculated column, it is missing an aggregator. I don't know what you pretend to do with the measure. If you're idea is to use it in a table visual then you can do something like this:

IF(CONTAINSSTRING( MAX(table[text_col]) ,"ABC"), TRUE(), FALSE())

it doesn't work, it return False for all rows
