Possible to make less verbose DAX?

IF( 
    OR(Table[Column] = "A", 
    OR(Table[Column] ="B", 
Table[Column]="C")), "These are some letters", IF( OR(Table[Column]="Bill", OR(Table[Column]="Mary", OR(Table[Column]="Joe", OR(Table[Column]="Jeff",
Table[Column]="Tony")))),
"These are names","Other"
)

 

It just seems kinda crazy that I have to say Table[Column] every time, maybe "OR" isn't the best option. Is there a better way to write this?

Hi @Anonymous,

 

In dax there isn't an equivalent formula to the IN of SQL, please check this article with the explanation and how to do it in different number of ways.

Hi, you can reduce the code using IN {}

 

Result =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    Table1[Column] IN { "A", "B", "C" }, "These are some letters",
    Table1[Column] IN { "Bill", "Mary", "Joe", "Jeff", "Tony" }, "These are names",
    "Other"
)
