Hello. I have what I thought was going to be pretty simple. Wherever CUSTOMER_ID = "VER999", I would like the PARENT_ID to be "COOP":
PARENT_ID | CUSTOMER_ID |
EXE111 | |
COOP | JHY789 |
VER999 | |
COOP | SYS654 |
QWD321 | |
VER999 | |
LKJ871 | |
COOP | FSG557 |
VER999 |
My strategy was a new Custom Column where I use the following:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Cleaned Text1", "PARENT_ID_NEW", each if [Customer_ID] = "VER999" then [Parent_ID] = "COOP" else [Parent_ID])
Unfortunately, what I discovered is I am getting several "FALSE" values in the [PARENT_ID_NEW] column along with "COOP"; so it is putting in "COOP" for some of the "VER999" but not others? Strange! I've trimmed and cleaned so I don't understand what is causing it?

Hi @rmcgrath,
Your custom logic is almost correct. However that needs to be corrected to get expected results. You can use below code.
= Table.AddColumn(#"Cleaned Text1", "PARENT_ID_NEW", each if [Customer_ID] = "VER999" then "COOP" else [PARENT_ID])
