Hi all,

I having issue to "search" for specific text when I use IF faction at Dax.

I have the next code:
=IF([TesterName]="G1", IF([status] = 'Active',[status],[status]))


that should search for "G1" under "TesterName" column.

My problem is that at Testername column data is XXXXG1, CCCCCG1 and I don't now how to edit it to take those cells too (to ignore al text data from the beginning like '%G1" at SQL.

thanks!!

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
show us a few rows of data as it arrives from the SQL query and show us your desired output

Where's the 'status' column?

Also, what do you want to return if 'G1' isn't found in column 'TesterName'?

This will return 'Yes' if 'G1' is found in the TesterName column and 'No' if it isn't.

= IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("G1",Table1[TesterName])), "No", "Yes")

What I hope to retrieve is dax code that his search base on:
if on the same two rows (cell row & the row that below to here) status appears as "Active" (even for one of them) print "Active" on original cell and leave it blank for lower row & moved on to the next cell (row 3 now).
otherwise take "status" from "Tester name" that not include "G1" text data and below row can be blank.


I hope it more clear now :) thanks!!
