Create calculated column using alphabetical range

 
Hi all,

I am trying to create calculated column in Power BI report.

When,

If State column = " NSW" & First Char of Customer name column = (Present between)"A to F" Then assign name of executive as John,

If State column = " NSW" & First Char of Customer name column= (Present between)"G to K" Then assign name of executive as Kevin,
If State column = " QLD" & First Char of Customer name column= (Present between)"A to F" Then assign name of executive as Reith,

else "other"

 

Kindly help with the same.

Thank you in advance!!

Thank you @amitchandak !!

Some customer names are having numbers at the start Eg. 351 Building pvt , hence it is going into "Others" bucket.

I need to ignore numbers if present at start & should pick first letter of char value.

 

Thanks!
