Step I already try

 

1. if[#"SAP_MMT_LV_MKPF_EN.D/C_SHKZG"]="H" then Value.Multiply([Quantity_MENGE],-1) else [Quantity_MENGE]

2. if[#"SAP_MMT_LV_MKPF_EN.D/C_SHKZG"]="H" then [Quantity_MENGE]*(-1) else [Quantity_MENGE]

3. I change the data type for [Quantity_MENGE] from number to text

 

Regards,

Nuha

PQ is super sensitive to case. You have written number.from

It has to be

Number.From
