group/categorization

hi all. i have a column1 having approx 5000000 rows with 29 distinct text values in it. i want to group these 29 distinct under 5 categories/groups in a new column. e.g.

values like oranges, mangoes, cherry is represented as fruits in new column.

values like car, bicycle, bus is represented as vehicle in new column.

 

how i can achieve this?

    Hi waqarahmadkp ,

    You can update the formula of your calculated column as below:

    Column = 
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        [ApplicationType] IN { "Duplicate", "Duplicate (R)" }, "Dup",
        "other"
    )

    Best Regards

  • waqarahmadkp , You need to create a new column using switch

     

    Switch( True() ,

    [column] in {"1", "2", "3"} , "Cat1",

    [column] in {"3", "4", "5"} , "Cat2",

    "Cat3"

    )

      based on your suggestion, i am adding a new column as follows

      =Switch(True() ,
      [ApplicationType] {"Duplicate", "Duplicate (R)"} "Dup",
      "other"
      )

      however it is giving error Token RightBrace Expected.

      also can there be any other drag and drop option to do so.
