Good Morning,
Im stuck again and if anybody has a hint for me, it would be much appreciated.
In Power Querry Im Trying to do a new column for my client.
It should have the first two letters of the land and if the land is DE it should have a dash and the first two digits of the Postal code (PLZ). This is what I tried:
each if [LAND] = "DE" then Text.Combine({Text.Start([Land],2),"-",Text.Start([PLZ],2)}) else Text.Start([Land],2)
But I always get:
Expression.SyntaxError: Erwartetes Token: RightParen.
"Expected Token Right Paren"
Didnt find much about it on the Internet and hope someone here knows what Im doing wrong.
Solved! Go to Solution.
ok I found the error, I wrote the first "Land" in all uppercase.
Formula still doesn't work, I get the Land correctly, but I dont get the dash and the postal code.
