Hi @Tomasavlis ,

 

Based on the information you provided, do you want something like this? Extract the values ​​of column 1 and column 2 that are not blank, and if the values ​​of column 1 and column 2 are both not blank, then extract the value of column 1. If I understand correctly, then you can refer to @Ashish_Mathur  very good method. But here is a question, why is the result of the first row User instead of User1? Or is it just a spelling error that can be ignored?

 

 

Best regards,

Mengmeng Li

Hi,

Does this calculated column formula work?

User = coalesce(Data[User1],Data[User2])
