Creating an extra column and assigning it with value based on conditions

Hi guys,

I wan't to create the last column 'extracolumn' by creating a measure using DAX. The column is a copy of name when the boolean value is true grouped by someidentification.

Help is appreciated!

 

id someidentification boolean name extracolumn
1 100 true test1 test1
2 100 false test2 test1
3 100 false test3 test1
4 200 true test4 test4
5 200 false test5 test4

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

Give this a try:

extracolumn =
VAR some = 'Table'[someidentification ]
RETURN
    LOOKUPVALUE (
        'Table'[name],
        'Table'[boolean], "TRUE",
        'Table'[someidentification ], some
    )
