No..its zero...it's sample data. All columns are text. OR operator working in some cases and in some cases it's not working.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try:

= if [Control]="ENG0N" and ([SubControl]="ENG0N.A6" or
[SubControl]="ENG0N.IPE")
then [Month]&Text.From([Year])&[SubControl]
else if [Control]="ENG0N" and ([SubControl]<>"ENG0N.A6" or
[SubControl]<>"ENG0N.IPE")
then [Month]&[Week]&Text.From([Year])&[SubControl]
else null

I completely agree with this solution but somehow in some cases the combination of OR and <> is not working properly. In my case, for some blocks its working and for some its not though the logic is same. So, instead of OR and <> I have used nested if else again.

Thanks,

Can you please share sample data and the output that you are getting?

[Anonymous]

Below is the screenshot

Basically if its A6 and IPE I dont want to concatenate week else include week in the concatenation.

I have given expected output. Error which I am facing is for all A field I am getting week in the concatenated field.

[Anonymous]

Apologies,posting the rith screenshot(chnaged B field)

Criteria is to check B field first and if it matches then check A field for A6 and IPE and do the concatenation.

Kindly help..I have to do this in power query

Hi @Anonymous ,

Are there any spelling errors in these positions? Try replacing 0 with o.

if [Control]="ENGON" and ([SubControl]="ENGON.A6" or
[SubControl]="ENGON.IPE")
then [Month]&[Year]&[SubControl]
else if [Control]="ENGON" and ([SubControl]<>"ENGON.A6" or
[SubControl]<>"ENGON.IPE")
then [Month]&[Year]&[SubControl]
else null

Note that the type of each column must be text in order to use the & link.
