Hello All, I am building a data quality dashboard. One column is of PAN number. I to check its validity, I need to apply 3 rules and finally calculate validity % based on that. The rules are:
1) First 5 uppercase alphabets followed by 4 numeric digits and ending with one uppercase alphabet
2) The fourth character should be from list ("P","C", "H", "F", "A", "T", "B", "L", "J", "G")
3) Same PAN can't be present across multiple clients/rows
Please help. How can I achieve all these 3 rules? In power query editor or DAX?

Hi @Anonymous ,
You could refer to the following DAX:
Column =
VAR a =
LEFT ( 'Table'[Column1], 5 )
VAR b1 =
MID ( 'Table'[Column1], 1, 1 )
VAR b2 =
MID ( 'Table'[Column1], 2, 1 )
VAR b3 =
MID ( 'Table'[Column1], 3, 1 )
VAR b4 =
MID ( 'Table'[Column1], 4, 1 )
VAR b5 =
MID ( 'Table'[Column1], 5, 1 )
VAR b =
ISERROR ( VALUE ( b1 ) ) && ISERROR ( VALUE ( b2 ) )
&& ISERROR ( VALUE ( b3 ) )
&& ISERROR ( VALUE ( b4 ) )
&& ISERROR ( VALUE ( b5 ) )
VAR c =
NOT ( ISERROR ( VALUE ( MID ( 'Table'[Column1], 6, 4 ) ) ) )
VAR d =
EXACT ( UPPER ( RIGHT ( 'Table'[Column1], 1 ) ), RIGHT ( 'Table'[Column1], 1 ) )
VAR e =
ISERROR ( VALUE ( RIGHT ( 'Table'[Column1], 1 ) ) )
VAR f =
CALCULATE (
COUNTA ( 'Table'[Column1] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Column1] )
) = 1
VAR g = b4 IN { "P", "C", "H", "F", "A", "T", "B", "L", "J", "G" }
RETURN
IF (
EXACT ( UPPER ( a ), a ) && ISTEXT ( a )
&& b
&& c
&& d
&& e
&& f
&& g,
1,
0
)
