Custom Column in Power Query IF ELSE

Is there such a formula in Power Query Custom Column for this:

 

if ([BUSINESS_UNIT]='ZZZ' and STARTSWITH([ORDER_TYPE],'Standard')) then 'True'

elseif ([BUSINESS_UNIT]='ZZZ' and STARTSWITH([ORDER_TYPE],'Project')) then 'True'
elseif ([BUSINESS_UNIT]='XX' and STARTSWITH([ORDER_TYPE],'Project')) then 'True'
elseif ([BUSINESS_UNIT]='ZZZ' and STARTSWITH([ORDER_TYPE],'Standard')) then 'True'
elseif ([BUSINESS_UNIT]='AAA' and NOT STARTSWITH(STR([ORDER_NUMBER]),'9')) then 'True'
elseif ([BUSINESS_UNIT]='AAA' and NOT STARTSWITH(STR([ORDER_NUMBER]),'7')) then 'True'

else 'False' END

if [BUSINESS_UNIT]="ZZZ" and Text.StartsWith([ORDER_TYPE],"Standard") then "True"

else if [BUSINESS_UNIT]="ZZZ" and Text.StartsWith([ORDER_TYPE],"Project") then "True"
else if [BUSINESS_UNIT]="XX" and Text.StartsWith([ORDER_TYPE],"Project") then "True"
else if [BUSINESS_UNIT]="ZZZ" and Text.StartsWith([ORDER_TYPE],"Standard") then "True"
