Hi
I have two columns like below. The main data I want to use is from Column B, however when column B has a blank I want to use the data in the corrosponding cell in column A so I end up with column C. Is this possible, thanks in advance
A | B | C |
Green | Green | |
Blue | Blue | |
Red | Red | |
Yellow | Yellow | |
Pink | Pink | |
Black | Black | |
Purle | Purle | |
Orange | Orange |
Solved! Go to Solution.
In Power Query this is a pretty simple if [column b] <> "" then [column b] else [column a], DAX would be similar

Hello - would you have suggestion if i have more than 2 columns? Thanks!
@jthomson sorry i put this as solved but it is not working. When i put in the "" it doesnt work with the measure
thanks
Maybe try null instead dependent on how exactly your data handles blanks
