Multiple Ifs Replacing NULL in a Column

[harishs]

Hi All,

Looking forward to updating below code with Multiple Ifs, criteria based on another column.

Using Power Query, I have connected an Excel Sheet in which I have to update a Column with Excel Formula in Blank Cells:

=If(And(G2="Confirmed",G2="Probation"),E2+89,If(G2="Probation Extn",E2+179,"CHECK"))

How do I get this formula in Power Query? Below code helped me to get 1 equation but I am struggling to get this for other criteria's.

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Conetents("C:\harish.xlsx"), null, ture),
    sheet1_Sheet = Source{[Item="sheet1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Source,{"Gender", "Grade"},
    #"ReplaceNulls" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Removed Columns", null, each if [Probation Status]="Probation" then Date.AddDays([Joining Date], 89) else [Probatoion Date], Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Probation Status Date}),
in
    ReplaceNulls

hence need your help/suggestion in updating the code below and this should be applied only on Blank Cells in the column.

Regards,
Harish

It looks to me like your Excel code won’t work. Cell G2 can never be both “confirmed” and “probation” - not possible. Maybe you mean OR?

i am not sure if Excel Power Query has the “conditional column” button on the Add Column menu. If it is there, that would be your best bet and it is pretty easy to work out. Otherwise you will need to add a new custom column. The syntax is.

= if [column] = “something” then “result” else “alternate”

it is case sensitive.

You can nest if statements inside others. I suggest you use brackets to make it easier to write.
