How to create a new column based on the conditions of the other columns?

Hi guys,

I am new to Power BI, and come across this situation that I need to create a new column based on conditions of the other 4 columns. I've pasted screenshot of what the columns like down below with my further exaplanaiton.

As you can see 4 columns here and I marked then with different colours and with numbers as well.

Here is the condition from SQL server.

Bascially, I need to generate a new column (column 5) based on the conditions show in SQL. The conditions in SQL is saying if column 4 cell equals to SCA, then the new column 5 cell should use the value from column 1, and if the column 4 cell equals to OYU, then the new column 5 cell should use the value from column 3, and if the column 4 cell equals to neither SCA nor OYU, then use the the calue from column 2 for the new column 5. And after done all of that, column 1, 2 and 3 needs to be invisible.

So I was wondering if I can do this on Power BI?

Thanks in advanced.

catpoisoncat , You can use Switch to create new column

column 5 = Switch(True() ,

[Column4] = "SCA", [Column1]

[Column4] ="OYU",[Column3],

[Column 2])

Switch-Case statement of #PowerBI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gelJWktlR80&list=PLPaNVDMhUXGaaqV92SBD5X2hk3TMNlHhb&index=56
