Hi Anonymous ,
Please follow Greg_Deckler 's suggestion which use DAX.
Or you could go to Power Query Editor-->Add Column-->Custom Column, then paste the following M syntax:
if [Satisfaction]>=0 and [Satisfaction]<=29 then "Very dissatisfied" else if [Satisfaction]>=30 and [Satisfaction]<=49 then "Dissatisfied" else if [Satisfaction]>=50 and [Satisfaction]<=69 then "Neutral" else if [Satisfaction]>=70 and [Satisfaction]<=79 then "Satisfied" else "Very Satisfied"Best Regards,
