    rohitjmd  Try this as a "Custom Column" in Power Query Editor

     

    =if [A]=null or [A]<=0 then [B] else [A]

    What if the column headers change each day? my problem is very similar, i have a date column which then i pivot so the dates become the column headers and i am after a custom column that looks at the previous day and returns those values if greater then the day before else show 0....any help would be greatly appreciate!
