I have a file based on a qualtrics survey. Respondents can 'select all that apply' to race/ethnicity. When respondents select more than one race, the cell shows a comma-separated value. The table is below (see column with 2,7).
Is there a way to create a multi-racial category/new column based on whether or not the cell has multiple characters? Or another solution to this issue?
Thank you.

Hi @rlsmith1994 ,
Try it clicking on Custom Column and insert this code:
if Text.Contains([Column], ",") then "Multi-Racial" else "Single-Racial"
When you edit this new column, the previous picture is shown.
Hi @rlsmith1994 ,
You can create a custom column checking if the text has ",".
It's like:
if Text.Contains([Column], ",") then "Multi-Racial" else "Single-Racial"
Thank you!
The "add conditional column" window only gives me two options: equals and does not equal. I don't see the 'contains' option. Am I doing something wrong or missing a step? Thank you.
