Changing multiple text values to a single text value
I would look at creating a Group in DAX. You could create a group for each of your 4 values and then include an "Other" group. I think this would be the quickest and most efficient way of doing what you are looking to do. In your fields area, click the ellipses (...) and choose "New group".
Hi Fahid
You can add a custom column in the query editor with the following code:
= if List.Contains({Val1,Val2, Val3, Val4},[YourCurrentColumn])
then [YourCurrentColumn]
else "Other"where Val1-4 are the values you want to keep
Then, if necessary, you can remove the original column and rename the new one
Thanks to everyone for your reply.
AlB your below solution works perfect and marked it as solution.
= if List.Contains({"Val1","Val2", "Val3", "Val4"},[YourCurrentColumn])
then [YourCurrentColumn]
else "Others"
v-cherch-msft, unfortunately, I couldn’t run your solution.
Greg_Deckler your solution works fine but it can’t replace Blanks to “Others”. I am marking it also as a solution.
BR,
Fahid
It doesn't turn all rows to others. Like I said, Val1,...Val4 are just examples and you have to substitute them for the values you want to keep (you haven't said what those values are). You cannot use "Val1"... "Val4"
