If function or switch function to replace value
I have a table looking like below screenshot.
I am not that familiar with Power BI DAX syntax, May I get some help to achieve below outcome:
A new colume to have:
if column 1 equals to "I"
and if Table3.Column6 not null
then use Table3.Column6 value to replace Column6 value
else remain Column6 value
Hi MichelleQLi ,
For simple conditional columns you can use the Add Conditional Column feature in the Query Editor. By the way, this editor uses M as the language. DAX is used once you've loaded your data into the model.

Hi MichelleQLi ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) This is my test data.
(2) We can create a calculated column.
Column = IF('Table'[Column1]=="I" && 'Table'[Table3.Column6]<>BLANK(),'Table'[Table3.Column6],'Table'[Column6])(3) Then the result is as follows.
