# Like

Returns true if the string value matches the case-sensitive pattern.

### Usage

```
Like(string, pattern)
```

\
**string** (required) The text string that is being searched.

**pattern** (required) The search pattern.\
An '\_' matches any character.\
A '%' matches any sequence of zero or more characters.

#### Examples

```
Like("Piano", "P\_ano") = true
```

```
Like("Boat", "G\_te") = false
```

**Try it in Sigma Sample Data**

In Sigma's sample baby name data, the following formula returns *true* for values in the \[Name] column that include “em”, like “Gemma” and “Jeremy”.\
The Like function is case-sensitive, so string values such as "Emma" returns false. 

```
Like([Name], “%em%”)
```
