What is the use of the FIND function in tableau

This recipe explains what is the use of the FIND function in tableau

Recipe Objective - What is the use of the FIND function in Tableau?

Find function in tableau returns index position or start position of a substring in string and sometimes 0 if the string is not found. Start argument enables the ignorance of any instances of substring which appear before the index position start. The first character in the string is 1.

Steps to create FIND function.

Step 1 > Connect the "NFL Offensive Player stats, 1999-2013.xlsx" data set.

Step 2 > Create "Player - stats" dimension calculated field using IF FIND([Player], 'Aaron') >=1 THEN 'Aaron' ELSEIF FIND([Player], 'Anthony') >=1 THEN 'Anthony' ELSE 'Unspecified' END calculation.

Step 3 > Drag the "Player - stats" dimension and drop it onto the row shelf.

Step 4 > Drag the "Player" dimension and drop it onto the row shelf beside the Player - stats dimension.

Our visualization using the FIND function is Ready!
