Comparing rows - Need to match column values between rows as criteria for new column

Hi, 

 

I have a table with three columns (BRAND, LOCATION, VOLUME).

 

Below is a table that explains what I'm trying to do:

So in this example, If "PRIVATE LABEL" exists in the same location as "OUR PRIVATE LABEL" I need "PRIVATE LABEL" to return a 0, but I'd like to keep the volumes of anything else that doesn't satisfy these requirements. 

 

 

I'm struggling with lookupvalue and I'm unsure of how to tackle this. 

Thanks

Try as a new column

if(isblank(
maxx(filter(table,table[location] =earlier([location]) && table[Brand] = "PRIVATE LABEL"
 && earlier(table[brand])="OUR PRIVATE LABEL"),table[VOULME])), table[VOULME],0)

 

Might have to  do some changes.

Hi @jlankford , 

You could try to use below M code to see whether it work or not.

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WClDSUQoHYkMDA6VYHQjfA4iNkPjeIHlTCN8Rqh4m7whVD5X2R5hnihAAKTA0gQg4oRngBLUAaoAzzD6QdCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Brand = _t, Location = _t, vol = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Brand", type text}, {"Location", type text}, {"vol", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Location"}, {{"combine", each Text.Combine([Brand], ","), type text}, {"all", each _, type table [Brand=text, Location=text, vol=number]}}),
    #"Expanded all" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "all", {"Brand", "vol"}, {"Brand", "vol"}),
    Custom1 = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Expanded all", each [combine] , each if Text.Contains([combine],"OP") and [Brand]="P" then 0 else [vol], Replacer.ReplaceValue, {"combine"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Custom1,{{"combine", Int64.Type}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"

Thanks goes to you and @dax  for providing great solutions! I had to reverse a few things to get it working, but I'm validating everything now, and it seems to be good. 

 

@dax : I really like your solution, and would generally prefer it, however, my dataset has more columns than I displayed above, and I had a little difficulty getting it all in there (probably making a typo on my end). Thank you for introducing me to grouping - It looks like cleaning my data and getting it the way I want it to is taking on a whole new dimension now - this is great!
