Giving a value to a word
I would like to add a new column that gives a number corresponding to a word that appears in a different column.
If word APPROVED is in column 1, then "1" is shown in the new column
If word NOT APPROVED is in column 1, then "2" in the new column
If word IN PROGRESS is in column 1, then "3" in the new column
Thanks!
Did you try to add a new column or a measure?
test this for adding a new column with DAX:
New Column =
SWITCH([column 1],
"APPROVED ",1,
"NOT APPROVED",2,
"IN PROGRESS",3

VahidDM That doesn't seem to work. It doesn't allow me to enter column 1 after EARLIER
