Help with replace values

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_IDCUSTOMER_ID
 EXE111
COOPJHY789
 VER999
COOPSYS654
 QWD321
 VER999
 LKJ871
COOPFSG557
 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])

Thanks,
