I am trying to Add a new Column that uses multiple If conditions to check if a particular column contains a specific text, numbers formatted as text or textual values.
The below If conditon works only for the first 2 criteria but adding a 3rd checking criteria does not yield the desired NULL results for numeric values that are formatted as text.
===============================
ColumnToCheck | NewColumn
===============================
R0 | Questions
Is this my life? | Is this my life?
0.5445 | null
0.23 | null
0.23335 | null
===============================
The formula is:
= Table.AddColumn(PreviousStep, "NewColumn",
each
if
Value.Is([ColumnToCheck],Text.Type) and not Text.Contains([ColumnToCheck],"R0") then
[ColumnToCheck]
else if
Text.Contains([ColumnToCheck],"R0", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) then
"Questions"
else if
Value.Is(Number.FromText([ColumnToCheck]),type number) then
null
else
null)
Maybe you need something like that
if
try Value.Is(Number.FromText([ColumnToCheck]), type number) otherwise Value.Is([ColumnToCheck],type number)
then
null
else
if
Value.Is([ColumnToCheck],Text.Type) and not Text.Contains([ColumnToCheck],"R0")
then
[ColumnToCheck]
else
if
Value.Is([ColumnToCheck],Text.Type) and Text.Contains([ColumnToCheck],"R0", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
then
"Questions"
else
null
Result in PQ looks like
