    Hey gancw1 ,

     

    I don't think it will work with with the Table.TransformColumns function.

    But you can easily do that with the Table.ReplaceValues function.

    The following code should do it:

    = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Added Conditional Column", each [Status], each if [Withdrawn] = "True" then "Withdrawn" else [Status], Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Status"})

     

    Otherwise you can just add a conditional column and then delete the original.

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
