[tmacfrank]

Hi,

I want all that contian "Deposit" in column [type] become "Deposit" in a new column. Others remain the same.

Any hint for DAX ? 

type                             new type

Deposits-blend           Deposit

bills                             bills

withdraws                   withdraws

mail Deposits             Deposit

Thanks a lot !

@tmacfrank try using the search function

newtype = IF(SEARCH("Deposit",table1[type],1,0),"Deposit",table1[type])

Works perfectly, Thanks a lot.

However, I cannot search two or more values at one time, don't I.

for example 

newtype = IF(SEARCH("Deposit" or "Dep",table1[type],1,0),"Deposit",table1[type]), do i need one more if for searching "Dep". Thanks

@tmacfrank umm try like a normal or

IF(OR(SEARCH("Deposit",col1,1,0),SEARCH("Dep",col1,1,0),"Depost", col1)

[tmacfrank]

it say too many arguments were passed to the OR function.

@tmacfrank i just realized or in power bi only takes 2 values, here are your options..

1) do or like this, where you sepearate all conditions by a pipe

 X = 1 || 2 || 3 || 5

2) use a switch

switch(true(),

SEARCH("Deposit",col1,1,0),"Deposit"

SEARCH("Dep",col1,1,0),"Deposit",

SEARCH("Depo",col1,1,0),"Deposit",

col1)
