Hi Anonymous ,
I think you need to add a list into List.Sum() function. Try this code.
if [Column] = "B" and [Bucket] = "Knowledge" then List.Sum( Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([Column] = "B" and [Bucket] = "Knowledge"))[Custom] ) else nullResult is as below.
If you only want to get sum total based on [Column] = "B" and [Bucket] = "Knowledge" in the whole new column.
I think you don't need IF() function.
List.Sum( Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([Column] = "B" and [Bucket] = "Knowledge"))[Custom] )Best Regards,

Hi
Your column [Custom] is a list? You can use List.sum if you are referring a list.
Thanks
