introducing data via calculated column

[Brookied]

I have a data set that includes the folloiwng information, 

Income Date, Amount, Source Code, Payment menthod. 

What i am looking for is a way to add some caluclated data based on the Source Code and Payment Method.  This would normally be done via an sql statment in the Legacy CRM but we are migrating into CRM365 and as such cannot be added as a calculated field (so i am told).  Is it possible to add via PowerBI once i refresh the income data 

The Script in a simpliefed version is below but where we have "Sourcecode like 'ADSO%"  i think this should be 'Source Code begins with ADSO' in PowerBi 

If the below is true the add REG into the line 

((Payment Method = 'Standing Order' or Payment Method = 'Direct Debit' or Payment Method = 'Standing Order' or Payment Method = 'Give As You Earn' or Payment Method = 'Paperless Direct Debit')

or

((Payment Method = 'CAF Voucher' or Payment Method = 'Credit Card')

and

(Sourcecode like 'ARS%' or .Sourcecode like 'ADSO%' or .Sourcecode like 'ARC%'))

or

((PaymentType = 'Bank Credit Transfer')

and

(.Sourcecode like 'ARS%' or Sourcecode like 'ARD%' or Sourcecode like 'ARC%'

or Sourcecode like 'ARP%' or Sourcecode like 'CV%' or Sourcecode like 'SO%' or Sourcecode = 'GO')))

IF below then use Adhoc

and not

((PaymentType = 'Standing Order' or PaymentType = 'Direct Debit' or PaymentType = 'Standing Order' or PaymentType = 'Give As You Earn' or PaymentType = 'Paperless Direct Debit')

or ((PaymentType = 'CAF Voucher' or PaymentType = 'Credit Card') and (batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'ARS%' or batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'ADSO%' or batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'ARC%'))

or ((PaymentType = 'Bank Credit Transfer') and (batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'ARS%' or batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'ARD%' or batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'ARC%'

or batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'ARP%' or batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'CV%' or batchdetail.Sourcecode like 'SO%' or batchdetail.Sourcecode = 'GO')))

Income Date	Amount	Source Code	Payment Method	Income Frequency
26/11/2020	10.00	ARSO20-01	Credit Card	REG
26/11/2020	25.00	ADDI20-09	Cash	Adhoc

This would be applied to 45k lines of income monthly when imported into PowerBI

Is this even possible?

Hi @Brookied ,

You could add a conditional column in Query Editor.

Check the docement for more details.

@Brookied , In power bi for text you have use double quotes

In power query if then else (and or ) Text.Contains and Text.Start to check starting 4 character

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/text-contains

in DAX

if(<Logic>, <then>, <else>)  Search , find. && (and) || (or) Left for first few character

Search , find - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZt0HJw4gjQ
