Urgent- How to create a calculated column based on conditions in two other columns in DAX

Hi, 

I'm trying to add a calculated column based on conditions in other two columns in the same table to to have three age groups

 

Age groups = Calculate(IF(filter('Table', 'Table'[Year group] = "N"  || able', 'Table'[Year group]able', 'Table'[Year group]="E" && FILTER(Table', 'Table'[Age] < 5)), "Nursery", IF(filter(able', 'Table'[Year group] = "12" || 'Table'[Year group]= "13" && FILTER(Table', 'Table'[Age] > 15)), "Other year groups", "5-15 years")))

The code above gives me  this error:

The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value. 

 

Could you please hel me fixx the code?

Hi, @Walaa_86 

 

You can try using only the IF function.

Age groups =
IF (
    [Year group] = "N",
    "Nursery",
    IF (
        [Year group] = "E"
            && [Age] < 5,
        "Nursery",
        IF (
            [Year group] = "12"
                || [Year group] = "13"
                && [Age] > 5,
            "Other year groups",
            "5-15 years"
        )
    )
)

This is how I want my Age group column to look like:

This is how my table looks like. I need to separate the age grous so that I can have Age group as a filter and while I'm filtering for the "nursery" it only shows me year N or E in the year group filter.
