IF / AND / NOT in Power Query M
Try this
if ([Model] = "Ren") and ([Type] <>"Ma") then [Up] else [Ac]PowerQuery is case sensitive, so use small letters only with if, else, then.

Appreciate with a kudos 🙂You can start by adding a Conditional Column in Power Query with just one of the conditions.
To add a second condition, edit the formula in the formula bar by using the word 'and' as in the formula below:
=if [Model] = "Ren" and [Type]<>"Ma" then [Up] else [AC]
Or, just add a new custom column and paste that formula above into the formula box for the column. Spelling really counts with the column names, so make sure you get that right. 🙂

You have to mention the column name along with # symbol.
example [Sales$] ==> [#"Sales$"]

Thank you so much, Nandu! It works!
Follow up question though 🙂 It doesn't allow me to enter columns with a symbol in the name (like $) in the 'then' and 'else' statements. Any idea why?
Thanks again!

Appreciate with a kudos 🙂Have you tried using the insert column wizard in the Power Query or are you typing the column name yourself? With special characters you will need special syntax, so if you follow my original post instructions to add a new custom column and use the insert field box on the right, you should have more success.

Thank you, Allison, I did use the add Customer column. I ended up replacing the special characters in the column names, to avoid other people coming up with the same issue.
Interesting trick you've shown!
