Looking to Replicate Excel Formulas into PBI

Hi,
First and foremost I am relatively new to using PowerBI, however I am currently trying to replicate formulas in the following .xlsx file under Columns E-K into PowerBI. What would the best way be to accomplish this? Thanks

  • Hello Anonymous , 

     

    There are N/A and 0 in your spreadsheet how ever when am trying to see the formula in Column E, I assume it is a Conditinal colum , Therefore either you can use If condition or Switch Statement in Power BI as calculated column to create this, here is a example code you can try..

     

    Product Name =
    SWITCH(TRUE(),
    CONTAINSSTRING([C], "Half-Gallons"), "Half-Gallons",
    CONTAINSSTRING([C], "Pints"), "Pints",
    CONTAINSSTRING([C], "Minis"), "Minis",
    CONTAINSSTRING([C], "Three-Gallon"), "Three-Gallons",
    CONTAINSSTRING([C], "3 Gallon"), "Three-Gallons",
    BLANK())

     

    If you find this helpful , please mark it as solution and Your Kudos are much appreciated!

     

    Thank You

      Thank you for your response, I am getting errors unfortunately when I try to create a new column and plug in that DAX code.

      Essentially I have 5 columns in Excel I want to figure out a way to translate the formuals I have into PowerBI:
      Column1:

      =INDEX({"Half-Gallons","Pints","Minis","Three-Gallons","Three-Gallons",""},MATCH(1,COUNTIF(C2,"*"&{"Half-Gallons","Pints","Minis","Three-Gallon","3 Gallon",""}&"*"),0))

       

      Column2:

      =IF(C2<>"",E2,"")

       

      Column3:

      =IF(G2="",F2,CONCAT(E2," -- ",F2))

       

      Column4:

      =IFERROR(INDEX($H$2:$H$5000,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($J$1:J1,$H$2:$H$5000),0)),"")

       

      Column5:

      =SUMIF(H:H,J2,I:I)
