Creating a new column if values in column 1 = column 2
if you are doing this in Power Query then
this should do it
=if [usertype]="caregiver" then [Fullname] else ""
if you are creating a calculated column then its
Caregiver = if(users[UserType]="caregiver",users[Fullname],BLANK())
The first part of an IF is to check the logic so it checks to see if the first expression is true or false
then the second part is what is returned if its TRUE
and the last if it is false

Perfect Neuro. Thank you very much. It was for a Calculated Column.
If I use your Custom Column option and change caregiver to client & put these two columns in a table,
one column is always blank. How do I get both to display side by side?
if you have only two usertypes then yes one would always be blank
as you are checking in one column if one is a caregiver and in the other if it is a client.
In my mind I think what you are trying to do is show for any row who is the caregiver and who is the client.
if that is the case you would need to create some sort of relationship between the caregiver and the client
but please do correct me if I am mistaken and if you can provide your desired output (maybe display it in an excel screen shot)
and I will try and help you when im back online tomorrow morningYou're right, I am trying to show for any row who is the caregiver and who is the client.
This is what I would like ->
