Hi I have a Data base with Agent name and their Level. Now i need to get a dax which will look in each column and give me the name of the column in which the agent name is present.
| Name | Level | L1 | L2 | L3 | L4 |
| Max | L3 | Rex | Lux | Max | Sam |
| Sam | L2 | Max | Sam | Chris | Hex |
So i need to create this calulated column "Level" next to each Agent in Bi. We can see that max name is coming under L4 so i need L4 in Level column next to max. If the name is not present then i need blank. I need to achive this by Dax.
How can we do this.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @unnijoy ,
Please try this:
Level =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Table'[L1]='Table'[Name],"L1",
'Table'[L2]='Table'[Name],"L2",
'Table'[L3]='Table'[Name],"L3",
'Table'[L4]='Table'[Name],"L4"
)

@unnijoy can you provide few more example of the data with the output you are looking for.
Above is the structure of ma table. Only thing i add extra is the Level Column. In Name column i will have the name of the employe. The employee name will be in any one column from L1 - L4. So what i need to get the the column name under which the employee name is coming. In the above we can see that Max name is coming under L3 so i need to get L3 in Level Column. In excel we use to do this with Inded Match. But not sure how to do it in PowerBi.
