Hi,
I am trying to create a custom column using an if statement to report the following:
= each if [Asset Type] = "PC Tower" then [Year of Purchase] + 5 else 0
I want it to add 5 years to the "Year of purchase" based on its asset type.
This returns an error and need some help where I am going wrong.
Many Thanks
Jon
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
each is wrong.
I have tried the following
if [FromCurrency]= "GBP" then [Year]+5 else [Year]
and it function.
in the formula bar it appears this way
= Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Custom", each if [FromCurrency]= "GBP" then [Year]+5 else [Year])
pay attention to the type of your Year column
