Hello,
I'm trying to create my first fairly custom function but simply cannot make it work.
There is something quiet fondamental that I don't get as a newbie
I want to create a column to my imported dataset, with all rows containing the same value ("A1", "A2", "A3","A?") based on the parameter passed via a custom function.
I go "Add custom function" and typed this function (that doesn't even pass the error check!!!)
(Account as number)
let
if Account = 1 then RowContent = "A1"
else if Account = 2 then RowContent = "A2"
else if Account = 3 then RowContent = "A3"
else RowContent = "A?"
L0 = RowContent
in
L0
What I'm doing wrong?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this:
(Account as number) as text =>
let
L0 = if Account = 1 then "A1"
else if Account = 2 then "A2"
else if Account = 3 then "A3"
else "A?"
in
L0
Try this:
(Account as number) as text =>
let
L0 = if Account = 1 then "A1"
else if Account = 2 then "A2"
else if Account = 3 then "A3"
else "A?"
in
L0
Thank you Alexis, it worked like a charm.
There is a long road ahead of me to get proficient but you helped me take my first step.
