Power Query If condition

Hello Power Users,

I'm trying to write some multiple if statements in Query editor(Power query) but i'm not able to get the correct answer.  I have written below syntax but i'm missing something.  else if then else if line is not working properly.

Syntax:
if [Column A] = "ABCD" then [Start Date]
        else if [Column A] = "BCFD" then [Start Date]
  else if [Column A] = "QWER" then [Submission Date]
  else if [Column A] = "IUYT" then
                                            each if [Column B] = "lkjh" then [Submission Date]
                                            else if [Column B] = "hygt" then [End Date]
                                            else if [Column B] = "bgfd" then [End Date"]
                                            else null           
  else [#End Date"]

 

Please help me.

 

Thanks,

    Hi, do you have a typo in your syntax? Please take a look at what you posted.

    Also, I think you have an extra "else statement" at the end.
