New column based on criteria

Hi.
I have this table (a lot bigger, but just simplifying it), and a want to create a new column that is called "New provision fee %".
The provisionfee for order number O1 and O2 should really be 8, and the rest should be 10 (unchanged). Could somone help me with a formula for this column? Or is it possible to go and edit the data table precentages manually in some way?

Hi,

If you want to do this in Dax you could use the following formula:

 

NewProvisionPerc =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    TestTable[Order number] IN { "O1", "O2" }, 8,
    TestTable[Provision%]
)

However, if possible you might want to solve this in the data source, or in Power query, since the DAX method will add a new column to your model next to the old one (unnecessary bulk). Via Power Query you could solve it with a conditional column. Once you have this new column the old one can be removed:

Hope that helps!
