Multiply column by a value if another column equals specified value

I am still fairly new to Power BI and DAX.  I need to multiply a column by a specified value if another column equals a specified value.  

 

So using the photo below for reference, I need to:

 

Multiply whatever is in quantity remaining by a certain value depending on what Part Number equals.  For example:

 

Multiply Quantity Remaining by 5 if Part Number = "U4INSTRAP"

    How many conditions will you have?  Doing it off [Part Number] makes me think you will have a lot so you would be better off having a table with each [Part Number] once and a column for the multiplier then joining that to your fact table (the one in the picture) and doing a measure like 

    Amount = SUMX ( fact, fact[Quantity Remaining] * RELATED ( lookup, lookup[Multiplier] ) )

      Thank you for the reply.  I actually only have about 15 in this case so I answered my own question.  I just used a nested if statement to hit the values I wanted.
