Create Column by region with zips
- 7 years ago
Hi mnarveson ,
We can insert a custom column in power query as below.
Custom = if [Zip Code]>=90000 and [Zip Code]< 93599 then "Southern California" else if [Zip Code]>=94600 and [Zip Code] <=96199 then "Northern California" else "undefined"
Also please find the M code as below.
let Source = Csv.Document(File.Contents("D:\xxxx\xxxx\sel\data.csv"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=5, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source, [PromoteAllScalars=true]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"County", type text}, {"Place Name", type text}, {"State", type text}, {"State Abbreviation", type text}, {"Average of Zip Code", type number}}), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Average of Zip Code", "Zip Code"}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "Custom", each if [Zip Code]>=90000 and [Zip Code]< 93599 then "Southern California" else if [Zip Code]>=94600 and [Zip Code] <=96199 then "Northern California" else "undefined") in #"Added Custom"Please find the pbix as attached.

Hi mnarveson ,
To create a calculated column as below.
Column = IF ( [ZIP] >= 90000 && [ZIP] <= 93599, "Southern California", IF ( [ZIP] >= 94600 && [ZIP] <= 96199, "Northern California", BLANK () ) )

v-frfei-msft Thanks for the response. It looked like your solution would work. However, I get an error on the "IF" saying that name is not recognized. I have no syntax errors before I run it too.

I created a new pbix with just the zipcode data on it. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkAaFoxX6vm2t-pLIPgemSGR7jFutg

Depending on how many regions you have, that IF could get real messy.
You could try a seperate table with a column for zip and a column with matching region. Then, you could either join the two or us LOOKUPVALUE.
