need help with a measure Issue

Hello,

I have a table with two columns ("City" and "country"). Now, I want to create a new column "Result". I'm looking for an expression that says:

 

If column country = "Other" and column City contains the word "Munich" then write "Germany", If country = "Other" and City contains the word "Cologne" then write "Germany" otherwise take on column "country".

 

Below is my expected output

CitycountryResult
Munich and DortmundOther Germany
Bremen and CologneOther Germany
Berlin and HamburgGermanyGermany
London and ManchesterOther Other
Rom and FlorenzOther Other

 

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance!

Anika

@Anika3186 , Create a new column result like

 

Switch ( True(),
[country] = "Other" && search("Munich",[City],,0) >0 , "Germany",
[country] = "Other" && search("Cologne",[City],,0) >0 , "Germany",
[country]
)

Hi @Anika3186 

 

Try this...

IF(
	AND(
		[Country] = "Other",
		OR(
			NOT(ISBLANK(FIND("Munich", [City])),
			NOT(ISBLANK(FIND("Cologne", [City]))
		)
	),
	"Germany",
	[Country]
)
