Power Query: Find if value is negative only in 1 out of 2 columns

[P_D_G]

Hi all,

I have a table with similar data structure as below. I'd like to add anothe column which tells me if only one of the values in columns Num1 or Num2 is negative (rows 3 & 4 in the table below). Is there any way to do this with operators? So something like OR combined with NOT AND?

ID	Num1	Num2
1	10	0
2	-4	-4
3	-2	8
4	100	-0.5

Thanks,

PDG

@P_D_G , A column like this in power query

if [Num1]<0 or [Num2]<0 then 1 else 0

[P_D_G]

Hi @amitchandak,

Unfortunatelly your answer is not correct as this will return 1 in case of the 2nd row where both of the values are nagtive. Again, I'm only curious in rows where ONLY 1 of the values is negative.

Please read the description more carefully before answering a question.

Thanks,

PDG

@P_D_G , Sorry for that. Let me try again 

if ([Num1]<0 and [Num2]>=0) or ([Num1]>=0 and [Num2]<0)  then 1 else 0

No worries, that's all right!

Your solution is correct and now it's my turn to apologise as I wasn't 100% clear with my question.

I'm looking for a more general solution because the above works fine in this specific case however gets complicated if you have not 2 but 3 or more columns to compare.

Any idea how to make this more simple/general/suitable for comapring more numbers?

Thanks
