Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

Create a calculated column.

Column =
IF (
    [Sector Path4] = BLANK (),
    IF (
        [Sector Path3] = BLANK (),
        IF ( [Sector Path2] = BLANK (), [Sector Path1], [Sector Path2] ),
        [Sector Path3]
    ),
    [Sector Path4]
)

Get the expected result.

@Anonymous what do you mean is not working? Do you get an error or incorrect value or what? What expression do you use? Can you share a sample pbix file using 1/g drive?

@Anonymous add a column in PQ:

 

if [Sector Path4] = null or [Sector Path] = "" then [Sector Path3] else [Sector Path4]

 

once it is done, in the next step remove Sector Path4 column, and rename your new column to Sector Path4
