Assigning Counties by Zip Code

I need to assign a county based on the zip code in my data file.  Does Power BI have anything that would assign a county based on zip code?  

 

Trying to get suggestions on the best way to do this in Power BI.  I can group by states, but for the state of WA, I need to break down by two counties and then the rest of the state of WA.

 

Thank you!

@Alaska1  Based on your description, my uderstanding is that you need some table of counties and thier zip codes, if yes, you need to import this details from internet. I randomly googled it and found. You could search it too. Then import that table and link it with your own data table on zip code.

@Alaska1 Nothing native. Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
