Hi @Anonymous ,
Please try:
New = IF('Table'[First]<>BLANK(),'Table'[First],'Table'[Second])
or:
New := IF([First]<>BLANK(),[First],[Second])
If [First] and [Second] are entity fields, give preference to bolfri's method.

Hi,
In the Query Editor, right click on the first column and select "Unpivot Other Columns". Remove the second column and rename and last column.
Hope this helps.
