DAX Help for Conditional Column

[raghukumarch]

Hi, 

Could you please help me in achieving this either in DAX or PowerQuery.
One of my column in table has values like this.

I wanted to create another column in same table by adding "0" in the begining for the values which dose not contain "-" and other value which contains "-" should remains same as it is. 

For example column 'C_SerialNumber' have values like "311211025073516" and "916429-19-11"

I wanted to add '0' in the begining if the value DOES NOT Contain '-'. So the output will be "0311211025073516" and other values remains same.

Thanks

RK

Dear @raghukumarch ,

I have implemented your scenario, Here's the few steps to achieve the required output.

Go to Home - > Transform Data 

Open the Query which contains the column C_SerialNumber.

Go to - > Add Column - > Custom Column

New Column Name: CheckColumn

Custom column formula: Text.Contains([C_SerialNumber],"-")

Now click on OK.

Now again click on  Add Column - > Custom Column

New Column Name: NewC_SerialNumber

Custom column formula: if [CheckColumn] = false then "0" & [C_SerialNumber] else [C_SerialNumber]

Now click on OK.

Now, check on the formula bar, if the type isn't set to text then write it in a way as below screen short and click on the tick.

Here's the desire output in a new column.

Please like the reply and accept it as a solution to help the Power BI Community.

Hi! @raghukumarch 

Please use this M code.

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Serial Number], "-") then [Serial Number] else "0" & Text.From ( [Serial Number]

) )
