Hi everyone,
I have a column that contains the customer names.
I need to create an IF measure where i will give numbers to these customers depending on their names.
I cant use the if or switch functions directly. Is there a way to create a simple measure that extracts the customer names from a column?
thanks

Hi @Vandergledison ,
You can use DISTINCT function for it. However maybe is better to transform it on Power Query.

Hi @camargos88 ,
thanks a lot, it was exactly what i needed it. Why do you say that would be better via power query?
thanks
Hi @Vandergledison ,
I said it in case you don't use your original column.
Also it depends on your model size, if small amount of data shouldn't impact anything.
