Hi all,
In my table there column with Regions and column with countries.
I'm looking for a way to validate if countries match to the region as often we are getting data where for example region is India but country Vietnam.
added a custom column with if statement and it works for one region but when I'm trying to add more I'm getting right output (Great/Not so great) for first region but error for the rest.
I wrote something like that
if[EMPLOYING_REGION_COMBINED] = "India" and [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "India" then "Great"
else if [EMPLOYING_REGION_COMBINED] = "Americas" and [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Argentina" or "Brazil" or "Canada" or "Chile" or "Colombia" or "Mexico" or "United States" then "Great"
else if [EMPLOYING_REGION_COMBINED] = "Poland" and [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Poland" then "Great"
else if [EMPLOYING_REGION_COMBINED] = "Vietnam" and [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Vietnam" then "Great"
else "Not so Great"
my table looks like
Region Country Expected Output what I'm getting
India India Great Great
India Vietnam Not so great Error
Americas Chile Great Error
Americas Mexico Great Error
Poland Poland Great Error
Thank you all in advance

Hi @Anonymous
That looks like M code from Power Query, correct?
The issue is the list of or values. You need to respecify the column name each time.
So...
if [EMPLOYING_REGION_COMBINED] = "India" and [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "India" then "Great"
else if [EMPLOYING_REGION_COMBINED] = "Americas" and ([EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Argentina" or [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Brazil" or [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Canada" or [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Chile" or [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Colombia" or [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Mexico" or [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "United States") then "Great"
else if [EMPLOYING_REGION_COMBINED] = "Poland" and [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Poland" then "Great"
else if [EMPLOYING_REGION_COMBINED] = "Vietnam" and [EMPLOYING_COUNTRY] = "Vietnam" then "Great"
else "Not so Great"
