Hi @Anonymous  You might want to try switch statement

Column = SWITCH(TRUE()
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 1","New Car"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 2","In Warr"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 3","In Warr"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 4","Out Warr"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 5","Out Warr"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 6","Aged Car"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 7","Aged Car"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 8","Aged Car"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 9","Fence Sitter"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 10","Fence Sitter","Fence Sitter")

Hi,

Create the second table and in the Query Editor, use the Merge Table feature to bring over the required column to your existing table.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I think your column [Age Mth to Mth] should be a calculated column, so you cannot find it in power query. 

We can take a look at the article below: Calculated columns in Power BI Desktop, which explains the main difference between those two columns.
