Conditional Column: Can't use Conditional Column Builder

I'm a beginner when it comes to query building, so all help is appreciated.

 

I need to create a column(3) that looks at column(1) and if it contains a value (a date), then it will look at the next column(2) and see if it contains a value (a date), if column(2) does not contain a value then I want column(3) to say "Unresolved", if there is a value in column(2), I want it to say "Resolved" ... if column(1) is null then I want column(3) to leave the column null or blank.

 

if column 1 is blank/null, NEW column should be blank/null

if column 1 is NOT blank and column 2 is NOT blank, NEW column = "Resolved"

if column 1 is NOT blank and column 2 IS BLANK, NEW column = "Unresolved"

Hi @x2kibail,

 

Try this one. Please also refer to the snapshot below.

Column =
IF (
    ISBLANK ( [Column1] ),
    BLANK (),
    IF (
        NOT ISBLANK ( [Column1] ) && ISBLANK ( [Column2] ),
        "Unresolved",
        IF (
            NOT ISBLANK ( [Column1] ) && NOT ISBLANK ( [Column2] ),
            "Resolved",
            "Unknown"
        )
    )
)

Conditional-Column
