Hi
I've got a column listed as below and I'm trying to create a new column (with a Yes/No or True/False response) if some matches of certain keywords are found in the original column. Would "CONTAINS" be useful here? or should I create a new column with my Keywords [CEO, Chief Executive, Officer, CFO, Chief Financial Officer, Ambassador] and use Search?
Original column | New conditional column |
Mr John is the CEO of x | Yes |
Ms Lynn is the Vice president of Y | No |
Tom is the ambassador of USA to the UK | Yes |
Jerry is the Company Secretary of X Inc | No |
Keywords |
Ambassador |
CEO |
Chief Executive Officer |
Chief Financial Officer |
CFO |

Hi, @Wahid777
Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.
Table1:
Table2:
You may create a custom column with the following codes.
if List.ContainsAny(Text.Split([Original column]," "),Table2[Keywords],Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
then "Yes" else "No"
Result:
Best Regards

you could get the info you want using the code used here
although no answer has been promoted to solution by @EmPi
you have just to change the labels, and get the additional information of what item matches, non only that there is one match:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcvR1jPL3UwhwjPR19QsJVnANDfIPcFUI1nPWc9RTcHFVitUBKvJx8VRw93XyUNBWcPbXU/B2Bwunlhblp2WWGJkouOcmeYCF8lLLFYpL8otSwbwAf2d/BdfMvKLM5IyS0rz04tzE1KLsklSo+lgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Bank transfer intended purpose" = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Bank transfer intended purpose", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Category", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(Text.SplitAny([#"Bank transfer intended purpose"], Text.Combine(List.Difference({" ".."@"},{"0".."9"}))), each Record.FieldOrDefault(storeDict, Text.Lower(_))),";"))
in
#"Added Custom"
let
dict = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcsxNrMrPU9JRcivNU4rVAQrkpGSCuPn5KQrBJflFqWBR15TU7ERM4YD85Hyw3qK8zJJSmNrSovy0zBIjE6CMe2WuUmwsAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Store = _t, Category = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(dict,{{"Store", type text}, {"Category", type text}})
in
Record.FromList(dict[Store],List.Transform(dict[Store],Text.Lower))
Hello @Wahid777
you can use a combination of List.Transform, List.AnyTrue and Text.Contains. Here the example
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Pc0xDsIwEETRq4xccwmEKAggihAEilwYZ1Fc2BvtusC3x7FE6vdHM47mKuh4TgiKPBMOxxv4g6+xu2qKS0mbPYInLEIaJkp5zV4tu3P8Jy6+naqbWFYe+j0yNxjOLe1IpGxfHBeXCnryQtlVqJsnTskba38=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Original column" = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Original column", type text}}),
CheckWords = Table.AddColumn
(
#"Changed Type",
"Check",
(add)=> List.AnyTrue(List.Transform({"Ambassador","CEO","Chief Executive Officer","Chief Financial Officer","CFO"}, each Text.Contains(Text.Upper(add[Original column]), Text.Upper(_))))
)
in
CheckWords

Hi, there, I use to List.Intersect as follows,
let
Source = #table({"Original column"}, {{"Mr John is the CEO of x"},{"Ms Lynn is the Vice president of Y"},{"Tom is the ambassador of USA to the UK"},{"Jerry is the Company Secretary of X Inc"}}),
Keywords = #table({"Keywords"}, {{"Ambassador"}, {"CEO"}, {"Chief Executive Officer"}, {"Chief Financial Officer"}, {"CFO"}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each
[counter = List.Count(List.Intersect({Text.Split(_[Original column], " "), Keywords[Keywords]}, Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)),
result = if counter > 0 then "YES" else "NO"][result]
)
in
#"Added Custom"
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
