How to create these groups
Bangalore - Bangalore
Mumbai - Dombivali, Kalyan, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Panvel, Thane, Vasai
Delhi - Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Gurgaon, New Delhi, Noida
Kolkata - Kolkata, Howrah
Pune - Pune
I also tried to apply a DAX formula
City_Category = IF ( [City_Name] = "Dombivali" || [City_Name] = "Kalyan" || [City_Name] = "Mumbai" || [City_Name] = "Navi Mumbai" || [City_Name] = "Panvel" || [City_Name] = "Thane" || [City_Name] = "Vasai", "Mumbai", IF ( [City_Name] = "Bangalore", "Bangalore", IF ( [City_Name] = "Faridabad" || [City_Name] = "Ghaziabad" || [City_Name] = "Greater Noida" || [City_Name] = "Gurgaon" || [City_Name] = "New Delhi" || [City_Name] = "Noida" || [City_Name] = "Delhi", "Delhi", IF ( [City_Name] = "Kolkata", "Howrah", IF ( [City_Name] = "Pune", "Pune", BLANK()
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @arjuns0028 ,
1. Custom column(m):
if List.Contains({"Bangalore"},[City_Name]) then "Bangalore" else if List.Contains({"Dombivali","Kalyan","Mumbai","Navi Mumbai","Panvel","Thane","Vasai"},[City_Name]) then "Mumbai" else if List.Contains({"Faridabad","Ghaziabad","Greater Noida","Gurgaon","New Delhi","Noida"},[City_Name]) then "Delhi" else if List.Contains({"Kolkata","Howrah"},[City_Name]) then "Kolkata" else if List.Contains({"Pune"},[City_Name]) then "Pune" else null
2. Calculated column(dax):
City_Category2 =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Table'[City_Name] = "Bangalore","Bangalore",
'Table'[City_Name] IN {"Dombivali","Kalyan","Mumbai","Navi Mumbai","Panvel","Thane","Vasai"},"Mumbai",
'Table'[City_Name] IN {"Faridabad","Ghaziabad","Greater Noida","Gurgaon","New Delhi","Noida"},"Delhi",
'Table'[City_Name] IN {"Kolkata","Howrah"},"Kolkata",
'Table'[City_Name] = "Pune","Pune"
)

Hi @arjuns0028, if you want to write it as measure in DAX, it should be something like this:
City Category =
SWITCH(
TRUE,
SELECTEDVALUE('Grouping'[City Name]) IN {"Dombivali", "Kalyan", "Mubai"}, "Mumbai",
SELECTEDVALUE('Grouping'[City Name]) IN {"Kolkata", "Howrah"}, "Kolkata",
"-"
)
But there are many ways. You can also create separate table with [City Name] and [City Category] combinations and connect this new table to your data table via [City Name]
Your code ran successfully but In the colum I am getting blanks
@arjuns0028 post a picture of your code and table where you have column with cities.
This is your chance to engage directly with the engineering team behind Fabric and Power BI. Share your experiences and shape the future.
