Custom Column Issue

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I am trying to esentially create a custom column to create specific Studios off of a Brand field in my underlying excel data.

What is the best way to add my custom studio listing? I've attached an example of what this looks like in Excel but I would love to have this created in Power BI.

Esentially, I would add the custom Studio column as a slicer in my dashboard.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

I want to know how do you import the data ? If you import data from excel file ,you can add the Studio column in your excel then import to desktop .Then choose the Studio field as a slicer to filter data .

If you import the data by Enter Date in desktop , you can directly enter the value in the Studio column or modify it in the source settings in Query Editor . Instead of adding Custom Column . Then choose the Studio field as a slicer to filter data .

So what kind of effect do you want to achieve through Custom Column, can you describe it clearly?

If you want to know more info about the function of Custom Column , you can refer to this link :

@Anonymous , one way, is to load it from excel and merge the data

https://radacad.com/append-vs-merge-in-power-bi-and-power-query

Enter Data and append data

or write a formula using Switch

refer video: Switch-Case statement of #PowerBI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gelJWktlR80&list=PLPaNVDMhUXGaaqV92SBD5X2hk3TMNlHhb&index=56

Switch(true(),

[brand] in {"DTR CAR", "DTR Frozen"}, "Disney",

// add other

//else
