New Column or Measure

Hi,

 

I'm new to PowerBi and would really appreciate your help with creating either a new column or new measure. So i have the below table:

 

ParameterTreatmentScore
ATRT110
ACON29
ATRT219
ATRT372
ATRT431
BTRT120
BCON15
BTRT231
BTRT341
BTRT413
CTRT154
CCON46
CTRT239
CTRT328
CTRT416

 

I want to create a new column or measure so that i have the new variable called "New_Column". The values in this new variable is the value for the "CON" treatment for each parameter.

ParameterTreatmentScoreNew_Column
ATRT11029
ACON2929
ATRT21929
ATRT37229
ATRT43129
BTRT12015
BCON1515
BTRT23115
BTRT34115
BTRT41315
CTRT15446
CCON4646
CTRT23946
CTRT32846
CTRT41646

 

Please, how do i calculate this new column or measure using multiple conditions. Below are the conditions that needs to be met when calculating the value for each cell:
1. Subset only rows with same Parameter value as the cell being estimated.

2. From this Parameter subset, choose the Score for the Treatment named "CON"


I've realized i need multiple conditional statements such as this for several things other than the above example. I however run into the error that there is no single value for the formula i create. If both conditions listed above are met, only a single value would be generated for each individual cell of the New_Column, although each cell/row may have different values. I can do this fairly easily in Excel, but i really need to do the same in PowerBi. I will really appreciate help from PowerBi experts. Thank you!

DAX:

CalculatedColumn=MAXX(FILTER(Table,Table[Parameter]=EARLIER(Table[Parameter])&&Table[Treatment]="CON"),Table[Score])

Measure=CALCULATE(MAX(Table[Score]),ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[Parameter]=MAX(Table[Parameter]),Table[Treatment]="CON")

Hi,

Power Query solution :

let
Source = YourSource,
Group = Table.Group(Source, {"Parameter"},
{{"Data", each _, type table [Parameter=text, Treatment=text, Score=number]},
{"New_Column", each _{[Treatment="CON"]}[Score], type number}}),
Expand = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Group, "Data", {"Treatment", "Score"}, {"Treatment", "Score"})
in
Expand

@wdx223_Daniel, your CalculatedColumn formula works flawlessly, and i've used it in different projects. Thank you.

I could not get the Measure formula to work however. I'm currently in need of a measure rather than a calculated column.Yes, the formula is missing a closing bracket, the addition of this bracket did not make it work. I will appreciate if you have a solution for me. Thanks.

Measure=CALCULATE(MAX(Table[Score]),Table[Parameter]=MAX(Table[Parameter]),Table[Treatment]="CON")

Now, it works. Thanks!

@wdx223_Daniel, you made my day! Your solution not only works, your code is concise and easy to follow. Thank you!
