    Hi AnassEss ,

    Thanks Sahir_Maharaj  for the dax, it really helped solve the problem. The reason you were getting the error was because you had to add a New Table instead of adding a New column:

     

    FamiliaTable = 
    DATATABLE(
        "Familia", STRING, 
        {
            {"hola"},
            {"adios"},
            {"hello"}
        }
    )

     

    Final output:

     

    If you want to add a column to the back of the table, consider adding a Custom Column in Power Query:

     

    = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if [Code] = 1 then "hola" else if [Code] = 2 then "adios" else if [Code] = 3 then "hello" else null, type text))

     

    Final output:
