Label duplicate values based on another column

Hi all,

 

I have a 'Name' column that contains duplicate values. I'd like a new column that either says "Kitchen" or "Utililty" based on the value in the qty column. The higher number should say "Kitchen", and the lower "Utility".

 

NameQtyCustom Column
ABC10Utility
XYZ30Kitchen
XYZ15Utility
ABC27Kitchen

 

The name column will only ever have 2 of the same entry, never more. So one will always say "Kitchen" and one will always say "Utility", based on the qty column.

 

Can anyone help me achieve this please?

 

Many thanks

I have one quick question so name alway will only two qty or more than that? as per the give data i have created the custom column

You can achive this by create custom colum measure 

custome Column =
var maxvalue = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Qty]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Name] = EARLIER('Table'[Name])))
return IF('Table'[Qty] = maxvalue,"Kitchen","Utility")
Here is my output
