Hi,
I have table and would like to create a column with below logic. I am using directquery so unable to use add column function under the transform data.
If status="not ready" then use reason code from ReasonCode column else use the Status.
| Agent | Status | ReasonCode | ***New column needed |
| 1 | Ready | Ready | |
| 2 | Not Ready | Break | Break |
| 3 | Not Ready | Meeting | Meeting |
Thanks,
Daven

Hi @Anonymous
Try this
Column = IF( CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[Status], "Not Ready"), 'Table'[ReasonCode], 'Table'[Status])
