Categorise item based on a text field (product category) and a number (its weight)

Hello,

 

I tried to find an answer but was not able to find anything.

English is a second language sorry if I'm unclear.

 

In PowerQuery, I'm trying to automatically categorize products based on their category and net weight.

 

Here is an example of the final result I'm trying to achieve :

 

SKUNiv1Niv2Niv3Net WeightSize
12FoodCatDry2.5Small
13FoodCatDry7Large
14FoodDogDry7Medium
15FoodDogDry15Large

 

Cat between 0 and 3 kg, it's a small bag, 3 and 8 it's a large bag.

But in the dog food i.e. 7kg is considered a medium bag.

 

I'm directly logged in to a material table in SAP via an OData link, but that information is not managed or maintained in SAP.

I initially tried to map every actual available size for each segment but as we create new SKUs, new weights are available so I would rather use a range logic.

 

Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide.

Thanks for the support

Best!

@alexproulx ,

 

You can create a table with the parameters and a custom column to calculate it.

let 
_cat = [Niv2],
_weight = [Net Weight]
in
List.First(Table.SelectRows(TB_PARAMETERS, 
each 
[Niv2] = _cat and
[Max] >= _weight)[Label])

Hi @alexproulx ,

You can create a column like this:

Size = 
SWITCH (
    [Niv2],
    "Cat",
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            [Net Weight] >= 0
                && [Net Weight] <= 3, "Small",
            [Net Weight] > 3
                && [Net Weight] <= 8, "Large"
        ),
    "Dog",
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            [Net Weight] >= 0
                && [Net Weight] <= 3, "Small",
            [Net Weight] > 3
                && [Net Weight] <= 7, "Medium",
            [Net Weight] > 7, "Large"
        )
)
