Need Help : Convert Excel formula to Power BI

[grprem81us]

Hi,

I need the below excel formula in POWER BI QUERY 

=LOOKUP(0,-SEARCH(LEFT(F2,LEN($B$2:$B$13))+0,$B$2:$B$13),$B$2:$B$13)

Can anyone help ?

Hi @grprem81us

It seems there're two ways. First, you need to use M Language in Advanced Editor. You may refer to this post. Second, you may create a calculate column with Search Function. Show a sample as below:

Column =
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( Country[Country] ),
    FILTER ( Country, SEARCH ( Country[Phone], Number[Number], 1, 0 ) )
)

Hi Cherie,

Thanks for your Reply. I tried using the Formula mentioned in your reply. In some cases i am getting wrong output.

For Example the Number was "914842531599" and the result i got was "599" instead of 91.

My Result should be always from the First digit and it should NOT be matching from middle of Number.

Note : my  Phone list had all the number starting with 91XXX and 91. There was NO Phone number list with 914XX.

Thanks

Hi @grprem81us

You may have a look at Search Function. The Parameters 'start_num' of this function will be the mumber which you want to start researching. 

Column =
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( Table1[Name] ),
    FILTER ( Table1, SEARCH ( Table1[String], Table2[Number], 1, 0 ) )
)

 

If it is not your case, please share some data sample and expected output.

Regards,

Cherie
