Name a location based on Position within GEOFence (Longitude / Latitude)

[briguin]

I have a table in PowerBI = DateTime | DeviceId | Longitude | Latitude

I want to convert the reported longitude and latitude into a User-friendly name.

If the device Lat/long is in the Geofence box then I want to name it Location1 or 2, depending on which box it fits in.

I'm thinking of a "Lookup" table:

If

Device_Longitude > West_Long and Device _Longitude < East_Long

And

Device _Latitude > South_Latitude and Device _Longitude < North_Latitude

Then provide the matching name.

I don't see how I could join to get a cross-reference.

Is there any logic that would allow me to use a table to lookup values between a long/latitude?

I think I could use a switch in Dax but I may have many locations and don't want to hardcode the switch.

Here was my sample Geofence

Descp,West-Long, North_Lat, East-Long, South_Lat
Location1, -117.09892, 32.790678, -117.080209, 32.774514
Location2,-117.13617, 32.789235, -117.12165, 32.776464
