Basic (not complex) RAG - Single Text to Number Conversion

[Anonymous]

Hi there, 

I have spent a while looking through a simple way to convert RAG status to individual numbers - The information is pulled from a sharepoint list into PowerBI, however, I can only find overly complicated/partial solutions that do not give me what I need. The cassification will either be "R", "A" or "G" as below:

What is the exact formula that I would need in creating a new column to convert R = 1, A = 2 and G = 3 ?

I would then pull this information through and use conditional formatting for icons to support dashboard creation (visuals). 

Thanks for any support that you could give here 🙂

@Anonymous Try:

if [Status] = "R" then 1 else if [Status] = "A" then 2 else if [Status] = "G" then 3

Hi, @Anonymous 

 Try this:

each if [Status] = "R" then 1 else if [Status] = "A" then 2 else if [Status] = "G" then 3 else null
