SQL IN operator equivalent in M code

Hi community,

Do you know if there is an expression in M code that mimics the IN operator in SQL? I am writting an IF ELSE statement to create a custom column, and would like to not repeat a column name multiple times using OR condition to list values.

Hi, 

 

I found the answer here.

 

So it should look something like this:

 

= if List.Contains({125,126,127,128},[Diagnosis_code]) then "Proc1" else if List.Contains({225,226,227,228},[Diagnosis_code]) then "Proc2" else null
