Custom Column

Hi,

 

I’m new to Power BI and am trying to create a new column in Power Query. To explain I'm trying to write a condition  if Quarter = Q1-2022 and Q3_Q3B is not blank then return 1 else return null for all other cases.

 

My current syntax  is:

= if [Quarter]="Q1-2022" and [Q3_Q3B] <> null then 1 else null

 

Example data

QuarterQ3_Q3BDesired column outputCurrent incorrect output
Q1-2022Agree Strongly11
Q1-2022Agree11
Q1-2022Neither11
Q1-2022Disagree11
Q1-2022Strongly Disagree11
Q1-2022Not sure11
Q1-2022 null1
Q1-2022 null1
Q2-2022Agreenullnull
Q2-2022Neithernullnull

 

I don’t have a syntax error but I don’t quite get the desired output. The 3rd column is what I want to achieve the 4th column is the current output I get.

 

I'd appreciate any help

Hi,

In the column Q3_Q3B there is no null value. In your formula's if condition use "" instead of null.
