    Find Function in Calculated Column in PowerPivot always returns ERROR

    Hello everybody,

    I have created a calculated column in PowerPivot and inserted a formula that worked in a normal excel spreadsheet however, this formula does not work in PP anymore.

    =find("green",Table1[Name],1)

    Name column:
    NAME: Bag green

    it should find "green" in the name and return the position. Hoever it alway returns the error, that the find function could not find the string.

    I have attached an example spreadsheet.

    Try

    =iferror(FIND("green",Table1[Name],1),BLANK())
