DAX coding for new column

Hi all,

 

I'm after some help please 🙂

 

Im looking to create a new column which will take two seperate columns, combine into one with one column overwritting some existing data.

 

I had started with a IF statement but Im not convinced thats correct.  

 

Public Sector should equal Public sector ,

Private Sector should equal Private sector

however I want to show all Education Market Sector as Public sector no matter what is in the Public / Private column.  

 

Public / Private SectorMarket Sector New Column
Public Health Public
Private Commercial Private 
Private EducationPublic 

 

Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated !  Thank you.

You can use the following formula to the desired results in a column:

New Column = 
IF(
    Table1[Market Sector ] = "Education",
        "Public",
    IF(
        Table1[Public / Private Sector] = "Public" , 
        "Public",
        IF(
            Table1[Public / Private Sector] = "Private",
            "Private"
        )
    )
)

You can use an if condition ,

 

if([MarketSector] = "Education","Public",[Public/Private Sector])

 

Hope it helps
