Transform column error

[gancw1]

I have these 2 columns. I want to change the value of [Status] to "Withdrawn" if [Withdrawn] = "True"

I have written this code 

= Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Conditional Column", {{"Status", each if [Withdrawn] = "True" then "Withdrawn" else [Status], type text}})

but I am getting this error

Expression.Error: We cannot apply field access to the type Text.
Details:
Value=Assigned
Key=Withdrawn

What is the reason for the error ?

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= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Added Conditional Column", each [Status], each if [Withdrawn] = "True" then "Withdrawn" else [Status], Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Status"})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