My Query :


= Table.AddColumn(

"prod Cat",
each
if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FA") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FM") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FC") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "MK") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "ME") then 0
else if [#"Product Category (Product Information)"] = "M0101 - RRP HTP Sticks" and
[#"Markets"] = "CA04" and
[#"Cigarettes Per Pack (Product Information)"] = 180 and
[#"Cigarettes Per Outer (*)"] = 180 then 2
else 1
)

 

Tired this code but i am not able to view 2 value in the column

Then I suspect the value 180 which was passed as a number, is actually a text simply turn that into a sting as illustated below.

Table.AddColumn(
#"Renamed Columns9",
"prod Cat",
each
if ([#"Product Category (Product Information)"] = "M0101 - RRP HTP Sticks" and
[#"Markets"] = "CA04" and
[#"Cigarettes Per Pack (Product Information)"] = "180" and
[#"Cigarettes Per Outer (*)"] = "180") then 2
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FA") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FM") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FC") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "MK") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "ME") then 0
else 1
)

 I hope this is helpful

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Apply precedence ordering, the multi condition statement now has a set of parentheses

 

Table.AddColumn(
#"Renamed Columns9",
"prod Cat",
each
if ([#"Product Category (Product Information)"] = "M0101 - RRP HTP Sticks" and
[#"Markets"] = "CA04" and
[#"Cigarettes Per Pack (Product Information)"] = 180 and
[#"Cigarettes Per Outer (*)"] = 180) then 2
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FA") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FM") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FC") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "MK") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "ME") then 0
else 1
)

 

 I hope this is helpful

@m_dekorte  tired above but still i could see 0 and 1 only .. 

Then I suspect the value 180 which was passed as a number, is actually a text simply turn that into a sting as illustated below.

Table.AddColumn(
#"Renamed Columns9",
"prod Cat",
each
if ([#"Product Category (Product Information)"] = "M0101 - RRP HTP Sticks" and

[#"Cigarettes Per Outer (*)"] = "180") then 2
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FA") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FM") then 0
else if Text.StartsWith([#"Item Code - Copy.2"], "FC") then 0
