Hi,
Please help,
I would like to add custom column that
1. if 'Attribute' does NOT contains "_2" then just copy the first 4 letter from "Source.Name" which says the year of the cell
2. if 'Attribute' does contains number "_2" then plus 1 onto the first 4 letter from "Source.Name".
e.g.
Row1~10 new custom column should be 2023
Row11~20 should be 2024(2023+1) because its values of "Attribute" contains "_2"
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous , Use this in custom column
m
= if Text.Contains([Attribute], "_2") then
Text.From(Number.FromText(Text.Start([Source.Name], 4)) + 1)
else
Text.Start([Source.Name], 4)
