Nested IF to create a column

I am trying to create a column using nested if statements but I get the following syntax error.

 

the original formula I want to replicate is:

 

=IFS(U11<2;"0-2";U11<4;"2-4";U11<6;"4-6";U11<8;"6-8";U11<=10;"8-10";U11>10;">10")

 

Thanks for help in advance.

    Try using "Conditional Column" option in Power Query Editor. It should easily this.

      Thanks for the quick response. This solved my problem. PattemManohar I tried using the FORMAT but still got an error. Have you tried it? Thanks

        I couldn't replicate your error, so I assumed FORMAT may help if for some reason your string is not considred text by PowerBI
        this code works for me:

        Column = IF([Comp Scrap]<= 2, "0 - 2",
    IF([Comp Scrap] > 2 && [Comp Scrap] <=4, "2 - 4",
        BLANK()
    ))

    in DAX you can try wrapping the text in FORMAT function .e.g

    FORMAT("0 - 2","")

    Try to create new custom column in Query Editor, like below.

     

    (IF([COMP SCRAP]<=2) THEN "0-2" ELSE
    IF([Comp Scrap]>2 AND [Comp Scrap]<=4) THEN "3-4" 

    ELSE "")

     

    (IF (U11<2) THEN "0-2" ELSE
    IF(U11<4) THEN "2-4" ELSE
    IF(U11<6) THEN "4-6" ELSE
    IF(U11<8) THEN "6-8" ELSE
    IF(U11<=10) THEN "8-10" ELSE
    IF(U11>10) THEN ">10" ELSE "")
