Hi all,

 

I'm looking for a DAX query that will fill in the column 'Outcome' as follow:

If Type is "Sensor 1" AND Space Contains "A", OR " B" OR "C"  then NAME A

If Type is "Sensor 1" AND Space does not Contains "A", OR " B" OR "C"  then NAME B

If Type is "Sensor 2" AND Space does Contains "A", OR " B" then NAME C

If Type is "Sensor 2" AND Space does not Contains "A", OR " B" then NAME D

If Type is "Sensor 2" AND Space is emtpy  then NAME E

 

 

TypeSpaceOutcome
sensor 112AName A
sensor 112BName A
sensor 112Name B
Sensor 213CName C
Sensor 213Name D
Sensor 2 Name E

Outcome CC =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
'Table'[Type] = "sensor 1"
&& OR (
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "A" ),
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "B" )
), "NAME A",
'Table'[Type] = "Sensor 1"
&& NOT CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "A" )
&& NOT CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "B" )
&& NOT CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "C" ), "NAME B",
'Table'[Type] = "Sensor 2"
&& OR (
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "A" ),
OR (
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "C" ),
CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "B" )
)
), "NAME C",
'Table'[Type] = "Sensor 2"
&& NOT CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "A" )
&& NOT CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Space], "B" )
&& 'Table'[Space] <> BLANK (), "NAME D",
'Table'[Type] = "Sensor 2"
