Hello,
I have a column which has values of = "0", "1" and Empty.
How do I create a custom column which gives me the following information.
IF
0 = Fail
1 = Pass
Empty = Pass
I've been trying the below -
=IF [Attend Pass] = 1 then "Pass" else "Fail"
TIA

Hi @Anonymous ,
M code is completely case-sensitive, so using 'IF' instead of 'if' will cause the calculation to fail. Similarly, referencing '1' instead of ' "1" ' if the value is in a text field will also fail.
Also, your condition is picking out the 1 = pass criteria first. It's simpler to pick out the 0 = Fail first, then just apply pass to 1 and null as per your requirement.
Try these calculations to see what works for you:
// [Attend Pass] = numeric
if [Attend Pass] = 0 then "Fail" else "Pass"
// [Attend Pass] = text
if [Attend Pass] = "0" then "Fail" else "Pass"
