Hi @Anonymous ,
Try this:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.StartsWith([#"Temp(NTM)"], "DCL") then "" else if Text.StartsWith([#"Temp(NTM)"], "DSA") then "" else if Text.StartsWith([#"Temp(NTM)"], "DBC") then "" else "PLACED")

@Anonymous , what should happen, then is missing
Table.AddColumn(Rule1, "Rule2", each if(Text.Start([#"Temp (NTM)"] ,3) <> "DCL" or Text.Start([#"Temp (NTM)"],3) <> "DSA" or Text.Start([#"Temp (NTM)"] ,3) <> "DBC" then <> else <> ))
else is optional
