Hi @longlongisi 

Create conditional column in Power Query
or 
with DAX

 

= SWITCH(
TRUE(),
Table[Ingredient Category] = "N/A",Table[Additive Category],
Table[Additive Category] = "N/A",Table[Ingredient Category])

 

 


Let me know if that works for you

Hi @longlongisi 

You want to do in Power Query or DAX

If Power Query, 1st replace the N/A value to Blank and merge Custom Column = [Ingredient Category]&[Additive Category]
