Hi Anonymous ,

if [SourcePropertyDisplayName] = "Global IOS App US/UK" and Text.Start([Language], 2) = "fr" then "Global Global IOS App US/UK French" else if [SourcePropertyDisplayName] = "x" then "y" else "Global IOS App US/UK English"

 Yes, so I added another condition if x then y in between.  Look at the picture, shows you three results. If you are getting into this, let me recommend KenPuls  book, M is for (DATA) Monkey. Easy read and really useful.
Let me know if you have any questions.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos 👍are nice too.
