Search for multiple text in one column with OR

I'm trying to find all records in inventry[part] that equal "Ice" or "Gel" to say "Cold"

This formula is not working...help please 🙂

 

55a_ColdDrinks = IF(
	ISERROR(
		SEARCH(OR("Ice", "Gel"), Inventry[Part])
	),
	"Cold",
	blank ()
)

Hi @unclejemima,

 

Please try this:

55a_ColdDrinks = 
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SEARCH ( "Ice", Inventry[Part], 1, 0 ) > 0, "Cold",
    SEARCH ( "Gel", Inventry[Part], 1, 0 ) > 0, "Cold",
    BLANK()
)

Alternatively, with Power Query, you can populate the search text into list and create custom function to iterator each one of them to check if within the text. Reference: How to search multiple strings in a string.

55a_ColdDrink =
