    Hi Anonymous ,

    You can create a calculated column as below:

    NewColumn = 
VAR _ADVcount =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( 'Customers'[CustomerID] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Customers' ),
            'Customers'[CustomerID] = EARLIER ( 'Customers'[CustomerID] )
                && 'Customers'[Material] = "ADV"
        )
    )
VAR _ENTcount =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( 'Customers'[CustomerID] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Customers' ),
            'Customers'[CustomerID] = EARLIER ( 'Customers'[CustomerID] )
                && 'Customers'[Material] = "ENT"
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        _ADVcount > 0,
        "ADV Customer",
        IF (
            _ENTcount > 0,
            "ENT Customer",
            CONCATENATE ( 'Customers'[Material], " Customer" )
        )
    )

    Best Regards

Hey Anonymous ,

 

thanks for answering here, your proposed solution results in something like this:

CustomerIDMaterialNewColumn
1ADVADV 1
1ViewerViewer 1
1EditorEditor 1
1WhateverWhatever 1
2ENTENT 2
2ViewerViewer 2
2EditorEditor 2
2WhateverWhatever 2

 

That is not what I am looking for. I really need all lines of a customer (with the same ID) where in one or more lines the material is ADV to be flagged as "ADV Customer".

You don't need to use Customer ID in here; 

Custom = COMBINEVALUES(" ",'Sheet1 (2)'[Material],"Customer").

It is a text and not a field.

Copy my formula as it is and see if it works.

    But even this would concat whatever is in [Material] with the term customer. Wouldn´t that result in 

    CustomerIDMaterialNewColumn
    1ADVADV Customer
    1ViewerViewer Customer
    1EditorEditor Customer
    1WhateverWhatever Customer
    2ENTENT Customer
    2ViewerViewer Customer
    2EditorEditor Customer
    2WhateverWhatever Customer



    I need a solution where the term "ADV Customer" is applied to all lines for a certain customer as soon one (or more) of the materials is ADV.
