Hi all,
I am trying to create calculated column in Power BI report.
When,
If State column = " NSW" & First Char of Customer name column = (Present between)"A to F" Then assign name of executive as John,
If State column = " NSW" & First Char of Customer name column= (Present between)"G to K" Then assign name of executive as Kevin,
If State column = " QLD" & First Char of Customer name column= (Present between)"A to F" Then assign name of executive as Reith,
else "other"
Kindly help with the same.
Thank you in advance!!

Hi @liberty20,
You can try to use the Unicode function to achieve your requirement:
formula =
VAR ATF =
GENERATESERIES ( UNICODE ( "A" ), UNICODE ( "F" ), 1 )
VAR GTK =
GENERATESERIES ( UNICODE ( "G" ), UNICODE ( "K" ), 1 )
RETURN
SWITCH (
Table[State],
"NSW",
IF (
UNICODE ( LEFT ( Table[Customer name], 1 ) ) IN ATF,
"John",
IF ( UNICODE ( LEFT ( Table[Customer name], 1 ) ) IN GTK, "Kevin", "Other" )
),
"QLD", IF ( UNICODE ( LEFT ( Table[Customer name], 1 ) ) IN ATF, "Reith", "Other" ),
"Other"
)
