    HI, 

    I am not sure how your datamodel looks like, but please try the below to create a new column.

     

     

    Formal Status of Prob Tchrs =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    [P Calc] = 100
        && [# of Formals] >= 1, "DONE",
    [P Calc] = 100
        && [# of Formals] = 0, "NEEDED",
    [P Calc] = 200
        && [# of Formals] >= 1, "DONE",
    [P Calc] = 200
        && [# of Formals] = 0, "NEEDED"
)

    Jihwan_Kim...Hmmm...the Rename Column message I got was that model names must be non-empty. What does that mean?

      Hi,

      Please share your sample pbix file's link, and then I can try to look into it.

      Thanks.

      Hi TanyaT 

      Thanks for reaching out to us.

      One of your column might not have any name. You can give the colum a name in the query editor and try again.
