Conditional Column

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
