Conditional formatting with specific value

marissaanj_0-1655727210513.png

How to make conditional column so that if category is "hand and face" the new category value is equal to LESC = Hand & Face's Last 52 Week value

(basically 13555264 but that number could change)

So in this case since all the categories are hand & face, the new category value column will all have 13555264 as their value

Hello - this works for me.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8kjMS1EAYbfE5FQlHSVHHx8FZw9HPz9Xn2AgF8hyUYgpNTAwMlNwc3R2BQoZGpuamhqZmSjF6pCsXcHZB2SCqYmpmYm5UmwsAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Custom = _t, SDESC = _t, LDESC = _t, #"$ Last 52 Weeks" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Custom", type text}, {"SDESC", type text}, {"LDESC", type text}, {"$ Last 52 Weeks", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "NewColumn", let varLast52Weeks = List.PositionOf(#"Changed Type"[LDESC], "HAND & FACE") in each if [Custom] = "Hand and Face" then #"Changed Type"[#"$ Last 52 Weeks"]{varLast52Weeks} else null, type number)
in
    #"Added Custom"

how did you make the edits to the source and the changed type? i tried to invoke a custom column and add the 

#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "NewColumn", let varLast52Weeks = List.PositionOf(#"Changed Type"[LDESC], "HAND & FACE") in each if [Custom] = "Hand and Face" then #"Changed Type"[#"$ Last 52 Weeks"]{varLast52Weeks} else null, type number)
in

part shown, but i dont think it works without the rest of the given steps?

    #"Added Custom"

Dear @jennratten ,

 

I may not need your solution now but for sure in the future I will.

Thanks for sharing this short but effective custom column.

 

Ciao
