    Hi TDERUSSO

     

    Here is a quick and easy approach in DAX.  Just add a calculated column to your table (replace Table2[Column1] with your details.

     

    Category Column = SWITCH(
                    TRUE(), 
                    Table2[Column1] In {"Shirts","Sweaters","Jeans","Shorts"},"Clothes",
                    Table2[Column1] In {"Sneakers","Boots","Sandals","Slippers"},"Shoes",
                    "Other"
                    )
