M code help

Good afternoon,

 

I have a DAX formula that I would like to use in Power Query but am not even sure where to start. Hoping to get some guidance here. The code looks like this

 

ROLE =
VAR ChangedBy = '_VIB Report 2022 07'[STATUS CHANGED BY]
VAR Department = '_VIB Report 2022 07'[DEPARTMENT]
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        ChangedBy = "DYER, HEIDI S"
            && Department = "WILSONVILLE", "PCP",
        ChangedBy = "MINGS, JENNIFER ANNE"
            && Department = "TANASBOURNE", "CLINIC APC",
        ChangedBy = "HOJNACKI, LAUREN A"
            && Department = "GLISAN", "CLINIC APC",
        "VIB"
    )
 
Thank you!

NewStep=Table.AddColumn(#"_VIB Report 2022 07","ROLE",each List.Skip({{{"DYER, HEIDI S","DYER, HEIDI S"},"PCP"},{{"MINGS, JENNIFER ANNE","TANASBOURNE"},"CLINIC APC"},{{"HOJNACKI, LAUREN A","GLISAN"},"CLINIC APC"}},(x)=>x{0}<>{[STATUS CHANGED BY],[DEPARTMENT]}){0}?{1}? ?? "VIB")

Perhaps the better question is this. I have a table that has a column of names and a column of roles. There are a handful of people in the names column that have multiple roles depending on the deparment (also a column). What I would like to do is change those roles in the role column while retaining the role for the other folks in the name column. Does that make sense?

Here is a screen shot of the data

Start by providing an explanation of what you want the code to accomplish; an example of the raw data; and an example of the desired output from your sample raw data.

@ronrsnfld please see message 4. You will find the screenshot there as well as the "whys". Thanks!

@MBWATSON I don't find the screenshot helpful at all to me.  Maybe someone else will understand it better.

  • It is a screenshot which I can't copy/paste into my version of excel.
    • Parts of the table are "cut off".
  • I don't see any description of the rule for how you want to change the roles.
  • I don't see an example of the expected results after you apply the rules.

@ronrsnfld I was able to figure it out but thank you!
