    FilteredCerts = List.Select(UniqueCerts, each _ <> null),
    CertsList = if List.Count(FilteredCerts) > 0 then Text.Combine(FilteredCerts, ",") else DefaultCert,
    Query = "Select val1, val2, val3 from table INNER JOIN table2 ON table.id = table1.oid where CONCAT(table.val, table1.val1) in (" & CertsList & ") and val3= 'ABC'"
    in
    Sql.Database("server", "db", [Query=Query])
