Need direction on how to convert an excel formula so it can be used in Power BI (scoring formula)

Below is an example of the formula|

 

=IFERROR(IF(SEARCH(K$3,$B4,1)>0,K$2,0),0)

 

Ultimatley trying to score data.  Example:  If Column 'A' has value of "Address1" then subtract 10 (out of 100), if  Column A has value of "ShipToAddress1" then subtract 20, etc.

@mbs2016 you can use search function

 

New Column  =
IF( SEARCH( Table[Col1], Table[Col2],, 0 ) > 0, Table[Col3], 0)

Formul used to score the LAST row  = =IFERROR(IF(SEARCH(F$4,$B13,1)>0,F$3,0),0)

 

My concern is that the data was sourced from a SQL DB table and exported to Excel where the formulas were added.  The column that needs to be reported on is a free form text field that can have one of twelve possible values listed and a score is assigned to each.

 

For example:  Out off a total possible score of 100...

Possible values include "AP_INV" (If this value is present the subtract -25), "AP_SHIP" ( (If this value is present the subtract -10), etc.  

 

 

 

Hi @mbs2016,

Could you mean below is your sample data table:

B C D E F G H I
  B 100   -25 -15 -10 -10
PI Team Comments ----- Score Spacing AP_INV AP_PO AP_SHIP AP_TAX
AP_ALL CORRECT   100   0 0 0 0
AP_SHIPPING_M    90   0 0 -10 0
AP_SHIPTO_I   90   0 0 -10 0
AP_SHIPTO_I    90   0 0 -10 0
AP_TAX_M   90   0 0 0 -10
AP_TAX_I  |  AP_SHIPTO_M   80   0 0 -10 -10
AP_TAX_I  |  AP_SHIPTO_M   80   0 0 -10 -10
AP_TAX_M  |  AP_SHIPTO_M   80   0 0 -10 -10
AP_INV NUM_I |   75   -25 0 0 0

Could you please post your desired result if possible?
