Group by and create custom name for values occuring mulitple times

Hey guys,

Hope all of you are keeping well!

I am looking for a solution that could be used both in Power BI and Excel Data model: 

Having a table like this

AccountCustomerRepPeriod
A1JohnMonth
B1JohnQuarter
C1RebeccaYear
T2BobQuarter
Z2BobDay
U2BobQuarter
E3LewisMonth

 

I would need to group it by Customer column and get a table with a unique customer row like this
but I would like to use my custom name for values that occurs multiple time.

CustomerRepPeriod
1MultiMulti
2BobMulti
3LewisMonth

 
Is that possible?

Thank you all a lot!

@tomislav_mi , Create two measures like this and use with customer in visual

 

if(distinctcount(Table[Rep]) >1, "Multi",max(Table[Rep]) )

 

if(distinctcount(Table[Period]) >1, "Multi",max(Table[Period]) )

Hi @tomislav_mi,

 

You could create a calculated table as below:

Table 2 = 
SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Customer],"Rep",
var _num=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Rep]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Customer]=EARLIER('Table'[Customer])))
Return
IF(_num>1,"multi",MAX('Table'[Rep])),
"Period",
var _num=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Period]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Customer]=EARLIER('Table'[Customer])))
Return
IF(_num>1,"multi",MAX('Table'[Period])))

And you will see:

@amitchandak Thank you so much!

This works also, but I am trying to get it done as a calculated table or even at the stage of uploading the data in PowerQuery...
