Hello,
I'm using power query to compile multiple spreadsheets. I have added a custom column which I need to have an If/else statement.

If my SITE column contains East and in the same row the NUMBER column contain 1 then enter "East1" This part is working but I have more data to check, else if SITE contain West and NUMBER contains 1 then enter WEST1.

This is just sample data, I have about 20 if's to compile. How to I make this work?

Thanks,
Bdenn

Power Query:
if Text.Contains([SITE],"East") 
and 
Text.Contains([NUMBER],"1") = true then "East1"
else
if Text.Contains([SITE],"West") 
and 
Text.Contains([NUMBER],"1") = true then "West1"
else
"NO"

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
Don't forger PQ is case sensitive so you will need to account for East or east of fix in your source data
Power Query:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns1", "Custom", each if[SITE]="East" and [NUMBER]=1 then
 [SITE] & Text.From([NUMBER]) else if[SITE]="West" and[NUMBER]=1 then[SITE] & Text.From ([NUMBER]) else "no")

Hello,
I tied to adapt the code above and it did not work for me.

This is just example data but I would be looking for an solution which we enter "East1" and not pull the data from each cell as the east and west are not clean in there column.

Example of how how the data would look:

SITENUMBERCLEAN
WEST-First1West1
WEST-Second1West1
East-First1East1
East-Second1East1

Thanks,

Give this a shot:

= Table.AddColumn([PREVIOUS STEP], "CLEAN", each Text.Proper(Text.BeforeDelimiter([SITE],"-"))&Number.ToText([NUMBER]))

Hello,
I did not have any luck with the above formulas.

I need to take information from 2 different cells and if both are true then enter in the CLEAN else check the next.

There are 7 spreadsheets and I will need to enter in each of the else's to accommodate them all.

If the Site Contains "East" and the Type is "High" in Column Clean display "SiteA Status Now" / If Site Contains "West" and Type is "Low" Display Clean as "SiteB Status Wait"

Thanks,
Bdenn

For the original query did not know there were text strings or delimiters involved so adjusted as follows
Power Query:
if Text.Contains([SITE],"East") and [NUMBER]=1 then Text.BeforeDelimiter ([SITE],"-") & Text.From([NUMBER]) else if Text.Contains([SITE],"WEST") and [NUMBER]=1 then Text.BeforeDelimiter ([SITE],"-") & Text.From ([NUMBER]) else "No"

Solution
For the second part i added a helper column to convert you High, med & low to Now, Soon Wait just keeps final formula simpler

Helper first a conditional column

and your Clean Column formula as follows
Power Query:
if Text.Contains([Site],"East") then "SiteA Status " &[Custom] else if Text.Contains([Site],"West") then "SiteB Status " &[Custom] else if Text.Contains([Site],"North") then "SiteC Status " &[Custom] else  "SiteC Status " &[Custom]

Hello,
I have marked this post as the correct solution!

I was able to make this work correctly for me. Your other option for adding a column I did not try as this solved it.

Thanks,
Bdenn
