New column

Hello guys,

 

I'm trying to create a column where a list of customer numbers is related to the customer name, but I can't add more than 3 argument for the function below. All the numbers below should give "John Lewis" as answer. Can anyone help me out? Cheers!

The syntax is wrong.   Replace that = with a ,

And check that the data type of [no_] is text.  If it is of number type then you don't need the quotes round the hardcoded values

You could use nested IF statements, but don't. Use SWITCH instead but I can't exactly tell what you are trying to do.

Hi,

 

What I'm trying to do is: Create a column with the name of the Custormer and add all the locations that are under this customer. The locations are coded by number so each number I want to call for the name of the customer. 

 

Thanks!

So something like:

 

Column =

  SWITCH('Table'[Column],

    "39062","John Lewis",

    "39063","John Lewis",

    <as many pairs as you want>

  )

Hiya, 

 

Thanks for helping me. Much appreciate it. 

Unfortunately, it doesn't like the SWITCH either.
