Hi @Anonymous 

 

if are you looking to pass multiple logical tests, then you can use SWITCH 

columns =
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    'Product'[Color] = "Red", 1,
    'Product'[Color] = "Blue", 2,
    'Product'[Color] = "Black", 4,
    3 --else 
)

 

btw, your question is DAX related did you wanted to recreate it in Power Query?

 

Best Regards,
Mariusz
