let

        ColumnNames = Table.ColumnNames(DatabaseRecords(num)),

        Tabled_Column_Data = ConvertToTable_SubTable(Table.Column(DatabaseRecords(num), ColumnNames{1})),

        objects = #table(
            {"Name",         "Key",   "Data",                                                    "ItemKind", "ItemName", "IsLeaf"},{

            {ColumnNames{0}, ColumnNames{0}, ConvertToTable_SubTable(Table.Column(DatabaseRecords(num), ColumnNames{0})), "Table",    "Table",    true},
            {ColumnNames{1}, ColumnNames{1}, ConvertToTable_SubTable(Table.Column(DatabaseRecords(num), ColumnNames{1})), "Table",    "Table",    true},
            {ColumnNames{2}, ColumnNames{2}, ConvertToTable_SubTable(Table.Column(DatabaseRecords(num), ColumnNames{2})), "Table",    "Table",    true},
            {ColumnNames{3}, ColumnNames{3}, ConvertToTable_SubTable(Table.Column(DatabaseRecords(num), ColumnNames{3})), "Table",    "Table",    true},
            {ColumnNames{4}, ColumnNames{4}, ConvertToTable_SubTable(Table.Column(DatabaseRecords(num), ColumnNames{4})), "Table",    "Table",    true}


        }),

        NavTable = Table.ToNavigationTable(objects, {"Key"}, "Name", "Data", "ItemKind", "ItemName", "IsLeaf")

I am using this to create 5 items on a navigation table. I want a if statement for the last one aka 4th that checks t see if ColumnNames{4} is null, if it is then don't add it to the objects table. Is this possible?

Hi @JackSoderstrom

I think you can try Table.RowCount function in your M query. If count not blank row equal to 0, then return null.

Here I find a offical blog about Handling Navigation, I hope it could help you solve your problem.
