Power Query-editor and i want to avoid using import mode

[InukBot]

First of all, sorry for the bad english, not my first language.

I am very new to Power BI and I want to make a map that devides Denmark op into the regions. I was told to use Power Query-editor to get a column that says the name of the region, but i was told not to use import mode to help

I have used this to make sure that it will divide the regoins by using the postalcodes. the code I have come up with so far is this:

let changeZero = if [PostalCode] = "null" or [PostalCode] = null then "0" else [PostalCode],

postalCode = Number.FromText(changeZero)

in

if postalCode >= 1000 and postalCode <= 2999 then "Storkøbenhavn"

else if postalCode >= 3000 and postalCode <= 3699 then "Nordsjælland"

else if postalCode >= 4000 and postalCode <= 4999 then "Vest/sydsjælland"

else if postalCode >= 5000 and postalCode <= 5999 then "Fyn"

else if postalCode >= 6000 and postalCode <= 6799 then "Sønderjylland"

else if postalCode >= 6800 and postalCode <= 7699 then "Storkøbenhavn"

else if postalCode >= 7700 and postalCode <= 7999 then "Nordjylland"

else if postalCode >= 8000 and postalCode <= 8999 then "Østjylland"

else if postalCode >= 9000 and postalCode <= 9999 then "Nordjylland"

else "Ikke i Danmark"

Many thanks.

Thank you very much for the help!

You cannot do it with Number.FromText. That won't fold and only functions that fold can be used with direct import. Off the top of my head I am not aware of a way to convert text to a number and it still fold. Can you have a view written on your server that does that for you first?

For reference, here is a good list of functions and whether or not they fold, which is absolutely necessary for a model that uses Direct Query. The (Almost) Definitive Guide to Query Folding - It's Not About The Cell (itsnotaboutthecell.com)
