Categorizing a column value into 3 different categories

Hi folks,

I have a requirement in which I need to categorize values in App column in three categories based on the values of DeviceCompliant column. 
If a particular App has both True and False , then the new column should show "Both",otherwise it would be either "true" or "False" value.

I have made a table with dummy data-

AppDeviceCompliant
A

TRUE

BFALSE
AFALSE
CTRUE
BTRUE
DFALSE
ETRUE

 

And Below is the desired result-

AppNew Column
ABoth
BBoth
CTRUE
DFALSE
ETRUE

 

Please let me know if we could achieve it at the query editor or both report and query editor.

Hello,
Here is a suggestion :
You can do a Group By with Concatenation as exlained here :
https://gorilla.bi/power-query/group-by-to-concatenate-text/

 

Then create a conditional column with a Text.Contains to get the final result.

Hi @monishamathew ,

 

I am sending the measure sample I created with the screenshot.

 

MEASURE = IF(calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[New Column]),GROUPBY('Table','Table'[App]))>=2,"Both",SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[New Column]))
