    Hi Anonymous  You might want to try switch statement

    Column = SWITCH(TRUE()
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 1","New Car"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 2","In Warr"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 3","In Warr"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 4","Out Warr"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 5","Out Warr"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 6","Aged Car"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 7","Aged Car"
                ,'Table'[Age Mth to Mth]="Yr 8","Aged Car"

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I think your column [Age Mth to Mth] should be a calculated column, so you cannot find it in power query. 

    We can take a look at the article below: Calculated columns in Power BI Desktop, which explains the main difference between those two columns.

    Hi,

    Create the second table and in the Query Editor, use the Merge Table feature to bring over the required column to your existing table.
