    Unless I'm missing something you can use not equal

     

    from the original code  

    IF( Left(Metric Table [Code],5) = "17.26"  && Left(Metric Table [Code],8) <> "17.264YZ" , "Bulk Equipment", "null")

    or using 2 columns

     

     

     IF( Metric Table [Stem +2] = "17.26"  && Metric Table [Stem +5] <> "17.264YZ" , "Bulk Equipment", "null")

    You can also do similar functions in M (Query Editor)

     

    Depending on what your data looks like you may be better creating a mapping table and joining the code or a sub part of the code to the mapping table.

     

    For smaller grouping exerecises try the group banding feature. Right click on a column and select New Group.
