Nested if statment with IN claus

Hi

 

Iif i have a column with a list of codes, (eg A01, A02,A03, B01, B02, B03, C01, C02,C03), How would i create a sutom colum like

 

if code in A01, A02,A03 then A Group

if code in B01, B02, B03 then B Group

if code in C01, C02,C03) then C Group

 

I am not sure of the syntaax, In SQL I would use a case statement and in cluases, but cant work out the syntx for power BI

 

therefore making

codes    New Column

A01      A Group

A02      A Group

A03      A Group

B01      B Group

B02      B Group

B03      B Group

C01      C Group

C02     C Group

C03    C Group

Hi @DebbieStubbs67 
Hard coded method would be

New Column =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    'Table'[Code] IN { "A1", "A2", "A3" }, "A Group",
    'Table'[Code] IN { "B1", "B2", "B3" }, "B Group",
    'Table'[Code] IN { "C1", "C2", "C3" }, "A Group"
)

Other dynamic methods could also be possible but requires real examples.
