To Create Custom Column in Query editor with defined logic

Need to create a custom column in query editor with below logic:

Filter out multiple measures based on condition - if [Dimesnion] Contains "A" OR "B" OR "C" for time period FEB 28 2022 to Sep 29 2022 

Need to write the above logic in a custom column in Query Editor.  Any suggestions?

Hi @UditJ ,

Based on your problem, I do some changes on my .pbix file. If you want to delete the False Custom, I think you can write a mesure and use the DAX code below.

Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Custom])="True",1)

Hi @UditJ ,
I create a table as you mentioned.

Then I go to the Power Query and select Custom Column from Add Column, write the code below.

 

if (Text.Contains([Dimesnion], "A") or Text.Contains([Dimesnion], "B") or Text.Contains([Dimesnion], "C")) 
and ([Date] >= #date(2022, 2, 28) and [Date] <= #date(2022, 9, 29)) 
then "True" else "False"

Finally you will get what you want.

Instead of returning True or False , it should remove a column from the table.  Any thoughts ?
