Calculated Column

Hi All, 

 

I have a daatset with a transactions table, I want to create a caculated column that checks for a type of transaction using the TansactionType ID Column and execute a calculation on Amount Column and the reports a value into the new calculated column.

 

For example:

If TransactionType is 1, Return amount in Amount Column multiplied by 2

If TransactionType is 2, Return amount in Amount Column.

If TransactionType is 15, Return amount in amount table minus 500.

So bascially, I want a Calculated Column thats checks for a transactionID, and returns a calulation on the Amount Column

 

Any help would be appreciated.
