Vlookup Formulas not automatically working

Hi All, 

 

I have a large data file where many fields are manually rolled up to a higher category currently using vlookups in excel and manually having to import, clean, and update a powerbi dashboard. Is there a way to get this to happen automatically in powerbi? I have the data set feeding from NextGear Dash software through an API and I need fields automatically created based on logic/vlookups.

 

For Example:

I have a field called "Division" that autosyncs through my API. I need this field to roll up to a new "business segment" category. In excel, I can use a vlookup to create this new column, but that is outside of my autosyncing feed from Dash. 

 

Division can be any of the following 9 options, but I need them to roll up to only 2 in a new column

Division:

Business Segment:
