Hi @Jyo27 ,

 

Please try:

 

= Table.AddColumn(
Previousstepsname, 
"Custom", 
each if [Time] >= #time(5, 0, 0) and [Time] < #time(12, 0, 0) then "A" 
else if [Time] >= #time(12, 0, 0) and [Time] <= #time(17, 0, 0) then "B" 
else null
)

You could categorize or index each time range then make a calculated column with a switch statement on that index. Or do what @Shaurya recommended if there are only a few cases to consider

Hi @Jyo27,

 

Instead of custom formula in Power Query, just create a conditional column in DAX. It's much easier.

 

Column = IF(HOUR('Table'[Date])>=5&&HOUR('Table'[Date])<=12,"A",IF(HOUR('Table'[Date])>12&&HOUR('Table'[Date])<=17,"B",""))
