Calculated Column: IF function

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;How do I created a calculated column using DAX for the below:&nbsp;Team = IF 'Username' = 'Adam Thompson' THEN 'London'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;etc...&nbsp;I want a new column called team and each team depends on what the username is.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi,&nbsp;I would recommend that you create a new table and make a relationship to the orginal table.Then you dont need to write any dax code.&nbsp;&nbsp;/Adam

Or perhaps go back to the source of your data and add an extra column in that table.&nbsp;But best avoid writing it in Power Query as it doesn't have an equivalent SWITCH statement.

You can use if likeIF(table[Username] = "Adam Thompson","London" ,"ABC") &nbsp;But in your case it is better to use switchhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/switch-function-daxhttps://community.powerbi.com/t5/Report-Server/How-to-use-the-CASE-statement-in-Power-BI/td-p/410864Appreciate your Kudos.

Hi HenryJS ,&nbsp;According to your description, you can use the&nbsp;SWITCH function. But this work may be troublesome. You need to group each user.&nbsp;Best Regards,LiangIf this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
