Search a string based on a filter

Hi All,

 

I am trying out following scenario to search on a string based on a filter.

 

So i have a slicer which contains the name of the materials. Once i select one material i need to search that material on another string.

 

What i have tried is as follows

 

I have created following measure.

 

ITEM = if (ISFILTERED(MATERIALS[Material_Description]),VALUES(MATERIALS[Material_Description]),"xxxx")

 

Then i am searching this on another string in some other table and if the material is found within text i return 1. else 0

 

ISITEM = IF(ISERROR(SEARCH([ITEM],RULES_TAB[RULES])),0,1)

 

My question is search function is not taking [ITEM] as a string. Is there a solution for this

 

Regards,

Maddy

Did you create ISITEM as a calculated column? You need to create it as measure with following formula and drag it into table visual as below.

 

ISITEM = 
IF (
    ISERROR ( SEARCH ( [ITEM], CALCULATE ( MAX ( RULES_TAB[RULES] ) ) ) ),
    0,
    1
)

Search a string based on a filter_1.jpg

Hi Herbet,

 

Yay!! Your Method works. Thanks a lot Herbet. Earlier the ISITEM was a calculated column. 

 

Thanks again for the solution.
