Conditional Column with Multiple Conditions

Hi All, 

I am looking for a little help to develop a conditional column which would tag the rows I have in my table dependant on what a certain column contains.

 

Say I have 3 columns and I am looking to develop the 4th column below where the rules are;

If Column "Area" contains 00111 & 00112 then "Both"

If Column "Area" contains 00111 then "00111"

If Column "Area" contains 00112 then "00112" 

Else "Check"

 

See below example,

NameIDAreaResult
A100111 - GGT;00112 - GFT;00113 - GTTBoth
B200111 - GGT00111
C300110 - CGTCheck
D400112 - GFT00112
E500111 - GGT;00112 - GFTBoth
F600114 - GHTCheck

 

I have attempted a number of formulas (IF statements & also conditional columns) but have not been able to find a suitable fix. It is the "Both" rule that I am struggling with as my approach appears to tag anything containing 00111 or 00112 as "Both" and I cannot find a way to add multiple rules via the conditional column option in transform data.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

AB

Hi @AKJB91 ,

Please have a try.

Add a custom column.

if Text.Contains([Area], "00111") and Text.Contains([Area], "00112") then "Both"
else if Text.Contains([Area], "00111") then "00111"
else if Text.Contains([Area], "00112") then "00112"
else "Check"
