    According to your description, you can try this calculated column:

    Result = 
    SWITCH(
        [Column A],
        "Value a", 1500*0.5,
        "Value b", 1500*0.4,
        1500)

    And you can get what you want, like this:

     

    You can download my test pbix file here

     

    If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.

  • Anonymous , You can create a column like

    Switch( True() ,
    [column A]= "Value 1" , 1500 * 0.5
    [column A]= "Value 2" , 1500 *0.4
    , 1500
    )

     

    Or measure like 

    measure  =

    sumx(Table, Switch( True() ,
    [column A]= "Value 1" , 1500 * 0.5
    [column A]= "Value 2" , 1500 *0.4
    , 1500
    ))
