Power Query IF statement

Hi All,

 

How would I write this as a custom column?...

 

I have a table called Fruit and need the following...

 

FruitIFStatement= IF(ISBLANK('Fruit'[Apple]),'Fruit'[Pineapple], 'Fruit'[Pear])
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated! 😊
 
Many Thanks,
 
Taylor

Try:

 

IF TEXT.LENGTH([Apple])=0 THEN [Pineapple] ELSE [Pear]

 

or

 

IF [Apple] & "" = "" THEN [Pineapple] ELSE [Pear]
