multiple if statement
Hello all,
I have two columns: load and count.
I would like to create a new calculated column called "Class" with formula logic like this:
-if count > 1 then "Both" , load
or if load = "Both" then "Both
I am getting lost on how to use two differnet logical outcomes.
thanks for the help
Create a custom column in query editor and use the below formula.
if [Count]>1 or [Load] = "Both" then "Both" else if [Load] <> "Both" and [Count]<=1 then [Load] else nullYour 3rd point states "and the count is < 1" but the example show "count <= 1". So modify the above code as per your need.
If this helps, mark it as a solution
Kudos are nice too

I couldn't follow the if statement.
Could you provide a sample input and expected output?

1. if load says "Many" the outcome should be "Many"
2. but if the count is > 1 the outcome should be "both"
3. but if the load does not = "both" and the count is <1 then the outcome should be the load column

Here you go. Try this and let me know
Outcome = IF(OR('Table'[Load] = "Both", 'Table'[Count] > 1), "Both", 'Table'[Load])
