Hey guys,
I have a column that looks like this:
State
AL
Alabama
TN
Tennessee
AL
AL
VA
VA
Alabama
Virgina
Tennessee
How do I create one column that has the full name for every state?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You could look at the length of the value. If 2, then do a look up, else, show original value. This should be pretty easy to do in DAX.

As @trebgatte mentioned, you'll need to have some master lookup table for the states abbreviation and full name. Then you can create a new calculated column that checks the length, and pulls the [StateFullName], otherwise it defaults to the existing value.
New to Power BI & Data: Can you provide the formula you would use to calculate length and pull state name. Once I see it I can make the connection to how it works.
