Hi All -
I'm struggling to create a calculated column using values from another. It can't be that difficult but I don't know why it's not coming to me!!!
Essentially, if the "Transaction Code Description" = "XXXXX", then multiply by -1, otherwise, keep the original value.
| Transaction Code Description | Amount | NEW COLUMN |
| Issue | $ 25 | $ 25 |
| Merch Credit | $ 25 | $ 25 |
| PIN Redeem | $ 75 | $ (75) |
| Redeem | $ 100 | $ (100) |
| Cancel | $ 75 | $ (75) |
| Pre-auth Completion | $ 25 | $ 25 |
| Reversal | $ 50 | $ (50) |
| Keyed Issue | $ 100 | $ 100 |
| Keyed Merch Credit | $ 75 | $ 75 |
| OSI Db Adjust | $ 15 | $ (15) |
| PIN Issue | $ 25 | $ 25 |
| PIN Pre-auth Completion | $ 50 | $ 50 |
| Mass Valuation | $ 1,000 | $ 1,000 |
| OSI Redeem | $ 100 | $ (100) |
| OSI Cr Adjust | $ 75 | $ 75 |
| OSI Issue | $ 50 | $ 50 |
| Deactivation | $ 100 | $ (100) |
| PIN Cash Out | $ 75 | $ (75) |
| Issue Virtual | $ 200 | $ 200 |
| Mass Devaluation | $ 2,000 | $ (2,000) |
| Keyed Cash Out | $ 200 | $ (200) |
| OSI Merch Credit | $ 100 | $ 100 |
| Keyed Redeem | $ 75 | $ (75) |
| $ 4,615 | $ (1,115) |
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @JLCote828 ,
You can try with
Column Name = IF('Table'[Transaction Code Description] = "XXXX", 'Table'[Amount] * -1, 'Table'[Amount])
If you want to give multiple description suse @vicky_ code.
