DAX to concatenate text values in a column

Hello,

 

I am seeking assistance for an appropriate measure to concatenate certain text values in a column to then = a single text value. This would be applicable to the listed items below from a single column. I am looking to acheive the following:

 

Site page, BMS Navigation Page, BMS BPAD = Web Page

Policy, Framework, Plan, Manual, Procedure, Instruction, Guide, Handbook = Documents

 

The remainder of the values in the column would remain as is.

 

Any assistance would be much apppreciated! 🙂

Create a calculated column:

 

 

Category =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Table'[Column] IN {"Site page", "BMS Navigation Page", "BMS BPAD"}, "Web Page",
'Table'[Column] IN {"Policy", "Framework", "Plan", "Manual", "Procedure", "Instruction", "Guide", "Handbook"}, "Documents",
'Table'[Column]
)

 

Replace 'Table'[Column] with your actual table and column names.
