Using a power BI script for creating a calculated column, how can we convert a State Name Table into a State Abbreviation?
State Abbreivation = SWITCH (
[State Name],
"Alaska", "AK",
"Alabama", "AL",
"Arkansas", "AR",
"Arizona", "AZ",
"California", "CA",
"Colorado", "CO",
"Connecticut", "CT",
"Delaware", "DE",
"Florida", "FL",
"Georgia", "GA",
"Hawaii", "HI",
"Iowa", "IA",
"Idaho", "ID",
"Illinois", "IL",
"Indiana", "IN",
"Kansas", "KS",
"Kentucky", "KY",
"Louisiana", "LA",
"Massachusetts", "MA",
"Maryland", "MD",
"Maine", "ME",
"Michigan", "MI",
"Minnesota", "MN",
"Missouri", "MO",
"Mississippi", "MS",
"Montana", "MT",
"North Carolina", "NC",
"North Dakota", "ND",
"Nebraska", "NE",
"New Hampshire", "NH",
"New Jersey", "NJ",
"New Mexico", "NM",
"Nevada", "NV",
"New York", "NY",
"Ohio", "OH",
"Oklahoma", "OK",
"Oregon", "OR",
"Pennsylvania", "PA",
"Rhode Island", "RI",
"South Carolina", "SC",
"South Dakota", "SD",
"Tennessee", "TN",
"Texas", "TX",
"Utah", "UT",
"Virginia", "VA",
"Vermont", "VT",
"Washington", "WA",
"Wisconsin", "WI",
"West Virginia", "WV",
"Wyoming", "WY",
"District of Columbia", "DC",
"State not found message"
)
The above would go from state abbreviations to state name, all you need to do is reverse the arguments, it does work
