Using IF , CONTAINS , CONCATENATE in Power Query Editor
Hello I have a table that has 1 column.
Sample:
Column1
Sales
DimProduct
FactCustomer
I want to create a custom column with the following rule :
If Column1 contains Dim or Fact then 'DWH.' & 'Column1' else 'ODS.' & Column1
Column1 --------- Column2
Sales ------------- ODS.Sales
DimProduct ------ DWH.Product
FactCustomer -----DWH.FactCustomer
Thanks in advance

To achieve it in Power Query, add the following code as Custom Column:=if Text.StartsWith(Text.Upper([Column1]),"DIM") or Text.StartsWith(Text.Upper([Column1]),"FACT") then "DWH." & [Column1] else "ODS." & [Column1]
Add this as a new column if you want to use it in the model using DAX:Column2 = IF( UPPER(LEFT(Table1[Column1],3)) = "DIM" || UPPER(LEFT(Table1[Column1],4)) = "FACT", "DWH." & Table1[Column1], "ODS." & Table1[Column1] )________________________
