Create conditional column based on null values

A newbie is having problems with creating a new column - I just right click on my table (not in Power Query) and create new column and want a simple condition column:

 

Is Customer = IF(Orders[customerNumberShop] = null , 1, 0)
 
Which gives me an error, do I need another way to make it? I am trying to avoid Power Query because it is a large data set to refresh

or
Is Customer = IF(Orders[customerNumberShop] = BLANK() , 1, 0)

or

Is Customer = IF(ISBLANK(Orders[customerNumberShop]), 1, 0)
