HI @erhan_79 ,

 

The formula what you have got is a DAX expression.

Query editor uses another language called M-query.

 

You can write following formula in Query editor:

if([Request date ] = null) then [Delivery date] else [Request date])

 

Go to Query editor --> Under ADD COLUMN on the to ribbon, select CUSTOM COLUMN

A window appears and paste the above formula there. Don't forget to name your new column.

 

Thanks,

Pragati
