Determine if a value exists in one column, when grouping by another column

I'm probably asking or searching wrong, but have been struggling to solve this issue for about a week at this point.
I am using a DirectQuery on a published report, and therefore I cannot unpivot the data in Power Query. I need to find a measure solution (I believe)

My data table looks like this:
Part Num   |   Location   |    Qty
AB123        |  ALOC1       |    10
AB123        | WAREHS     |     2
ACD34       |   BLOC1       |     3
DWH10      | WAREHS     |     4

I need a solution that looks at all the Part Num values and if "WAREHS" is one of the Locations, then ="Both". 
If "WAREHS" is Only Location = "Only WARE" and if WAREHS is not a Location then  = "Loc Only".

End result desired:
Part Num   |   Sort Loc   |    Qty
AB123        |  Both          |    12
ACD34       |  Loc Only    |     2
DWH10     |  Only WARE |    4

The main trouble I'm having is if I apply a filter to another category and that filters the Part Num field in any way, this evaluation stops working as now the Locations do not apply.  I need the evaluation to always check for WAREHS and not filter the Part Num field at all.

 

Thanks

Jessica

@JessieF Try:

Sort Loc Measure =
  VAR __CountWareHS = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[Location]="WAREHS"))
  VAR __CountLoc = COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE('Table',[Location]))
RETURN
  SWITCH(TRUE(),
    __CountWareHS >= 1 && __CountLoc = 1,"Only WARE",
    __CountWareHS >= 1 && __CountLoc > 1,"Both",
    "Loc Only"
  )

Hi, @JessieF 

 

You can try the following methods.

  1. Calculated column

 

Sort Loc = 
IF (
    [Part Num]
        = CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[Part Num] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', [Location] <> "WAREHS" )
        ),
    "Loc Only",
    IF (
        [Part Num]
            = CALCULATE (
                MAX ( 'Table'[Part Num] ),
                FILTER ( 'Table', [Location] = "WAREHS" )
            ),
        "WAREHS",
        IF (
            [Part Num]
                = CALCULATE (
                    MIN ( 'Table'[Part Num] ),
                    FILTER ( 'Table', [Location] = "WAREHS" )
                ),
            "Both",
            BLANK ()
        )
    )
)

  1. Measure

 

Measure =
IF (
    MAX ( 'Table'[Part Num] )
        = CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[Part Num] ),
            FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [Location] <> "WAREHS" )
        ),
    "Loc Only",
    IF (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Part Num] )
            = CALCULATE (
                MAX ( 'Table'[Part Num] ),
                FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [Location] = "WAREHS" )
            ),
        "WAREHS",
        IF (
            MAX ( 'Table'[Part Num] )
                = CALCULATE (
                    MIN ( 'Table'[Part Num] ),
                    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [Location] = "WAREHS" )
                ),
            "Both",
            BLANK ()
        )
    )
)

This was similar to solutions I was trying and unable to get it to work properly. I think there is a data type issue, but since I cannot change transform the data, I am having difficulty.  I appreciate your time to answer my inquiry.
