Need Help

Hi All,

 

I have table with muliple columns inlcusing the below two:

EventType
AAACust123
BBBCust123
AAACP
BBBCP
AAAB2B
BBBB2B

 

now based on the above two column I want a third column named NewType which should ideally be:

 

EventTypeNewType
AAACust123Customer
BBBCust123Other
AAACPPartner
BBBCPPartners
AAAB2BTop
BBBB2BOtherTop

 

What DAX should I write to achieve the above third column?

    Hi Shaji ,

     

     

    You can use SWITCH also

     

    SWITCH(

    TRUE(),

     

    Table'[Event] = "AAA" && Table[Type] = "Cust123", "Customer",

    Table'[Event] = "BBB" && Table[Type] = "Cust123", " Other Customer"

     

    )

     

    Regards

    Hi Shaji ,

     

    Can you share the logic of the 3rd Column.

     

    How do you identify if he is a customer, partner or others.

      So basicall we have two type of Event. IN the example it is AAA and BBB. And for each event there is a set of "Type" which will be common to both AAA and BBB. 

       

      So now if Event = AAA and Type=Cust123 i should get the NewType = Customer

      similarly if Event = BBB and Type=Cust123 i should get the NewType = Other

       

      So based on Column Event and Type I should get the result in NewType.

       

      Hope you can get some idea on what I am looking for

        Hi Shaji ,

         

        Not sure how will you replace Cust123 with Customer, etc... How many combinations like this do you have.

         

        You can try this.

         

        Column = IF('Table'[Event] = "BBB", CONCATENATE("Other " , 'Table'[Type]),'Table'[Type])

      I see that the SWITCH true statement only checks single column value. In my question I need to check Two COlumns and then print the results.
