Advanced Calculated Column Evaluation with Variable Values, Keys, Operators, and Operands

Is it possible to write something in M Query that evaluates a score based on the distinct key in the same row as the score against a key table that shows all of the associated operators and operands and the resulting value?

 

This is the logical evaluation table I put together in excel. 

 

So if there is key value and score value in a different table, can M Query take the key and score values, lookup to get the associated parameters that match the key in the table below?

 

Example: 

KeyScore
A24

 

If I run the above score against the matching row in the table below, the result should be 1 (Green Result).

Hi @Anonymous 

Is the lookup table a 1-row only table? If so

if Table1[Key]{0} = "A1" and Table1[Score]{0} >= 1 then 3 else if Table1[Key]{0} = "A1" and etc....

 

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.

Contact me privately for support with any larger-scale BI needs, tutoring, etc.
