Filter Added new Column

I have a table with status

Contractor, Staff, Vendor, Manager

I need to create new column

That it will show the name of the person who have manager status.

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

You have only provided one sample table? Are there multiple tables or are all columns in one table? If all in the same table, you can just add [Name] to a slicer. Then you have the ability to add [Status] to the 'Filters on this Visual' without needing to put [Status] actually in the visual. Set that filter to basic and select 'Manager'

Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.

Are you wanting to do this in Power Query? Is the name of the person in the same table or a different table? If the same table, you can click Transform Data in the Home tab, then select Add Column > Conditional Column and add the column using the dialog box help.

If the Name of the person is in a different table, we need more information about both tables - what is the identifying key columns that connect them both?

Not Clear, 

 

If you are looking to match the status with another table use Merge in Power Query or create a relationship on Status. 

 

If you want to answer your question quickly, please pose question with proper deatils and if possible share sample data.
