How to convert tableau to power bi formula

Hello professionals. I am new to DAX. I want to convert this tableau formula into DAX appreciate your help:

STR(if ISNULL([Student ID]) then [Registration Number] else [Student ID] END)

 

Thank you for your time and for helping me with my learning process.

Hi @naftycs ,

 

I have never used Tableau, but I'll give it a shot. My assumption is that both Student ID and Registration Number have the same data type plus that you'd want to create a calculated column.

 

Calculated Column = 
IF ( Table[Student ID] = BLANK(), Table[Registration Number], Table[Student ID] )


Let me know if this helps 🙂
