Creating a new column using a text field

‎03-16-2022 08:58 AM

I'm trying to create a new column using a text column.  If the text column is empty, I want the new column to have "0", if it is not empty, I want it to have a "1".  Seems simple but I just can't come up with a working formula.

@BAChizek , in power query

if [Column] = null or [column] =""  then 0 else 1

 

In DAX, new column

if(isblank([column] || [column]= "", 0,1)
