Conditionally merge products in transform data
I have a filter that contains products. I bring in the products from an excel sheet. How can I use the transform data button to say If(Product line = A & B, combine them into "Other - Product", keep the product name as is). Basically I want to combine 2 products so that it is one option in the filter how can I do this?
Hi poweruser55 ,
You could use conditional column feature in Power Query Editor.

Write this formula in the Query Editor
=if [Product]="A" or [Product]="B" then "Other - Product" else [Product]
Hope this helps.
