Add New Column (flag)

Hi world!

I came from the green side (Qlik) so I´ve found some problemns developing some "script" tasks that for sure you will help me

It´s really easy.

I want to add a new column (flag column) with values 0 and 1 when the following isntructions:

 

****Column ID is NULL  AND Column TYPE is different than the value "house"****

 

ID,TYPE,FLAG,
123house0
21232garage0
4235store0
24house0
 garage1
 store1
 house0
 garage1
 store1

 

In Qlik should be something like if(isnull(ID) and TYPE <>"house",1,0)  


But I am a beginner in DAX model so I need some help

Try this formula

 

Column = IF(LEN(Table[COLUMN_D])=0 && Table[TYPE] <> "house",1,0)

 

OR

 

Column = IF(Table[COLUMN_D]=BLANK() && Table[TYPE] <> "house",1,0)

There is a problem with the formula the PBI says the following " Token RoghtParen expected"  and select the first coma "," --> 

,1,0)

 any idea?

Where did you put the formula? It seems that you are creating a column using Power Query.

This is a DAX formula.

 

Also based on regional settings the comma can be replaced with semicolon ' ; '

Ok I got it!!! I was trying to edit the query, I was in the wrong section.

Thanks all for the responses,  BTW I needed ";" instead of ","
