I am relative new to using PowerBI. I am learning how to query data from a dataset stored in Access Database.
Here is what I am trying to do, there are four columns with numberic data, the four columns are: FISH, GOAT, PORK and BEEF. The script below attempts to comb through the data by asking, if any of the four columns, their data properties is greater than 65, the new column "YesIfGreater65" will populate the word, "Yes" If not, then "No." Does anyone know why I get the following error? I don't understand. Thank you much in advance.

PowerQryBI:
CheckValues = Table.AddColumn(#"_2015_2022_TACOS", "YesIfGreater65", each [Fish]> 65 [Goat]> 65 [Pork]> 65 [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else if [Fish]> 65 [Goat]> 65 [Pork]> 65 [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else if [Fish]> 65 [Goat]> 65 [Pork]> 65 [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else if [Fish]> 65 [Goat]> 65 [Pork]> 65 [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else if [Fish]> 65 [Goat]> 65 [Pork]> 65 [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else null, type "No"

Solved! Go to Solution.
You have to string the conditions together with "and if"
CheckValues = Table.AddColumn(#"_2015_2022_TACOS", "YesIfGreater65", each if [Fish]> 65 and [Goat]> 65 and [Pork]> 65 and [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else if [Fish]> 65 and [Goat]> 65 and [Pork]> 65 and [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else if [Fish]> 65 and [Goat]> 65 and [Pork]> 65 and [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else if [Fish]> 65 and [Goat]> 65 and [Pork]> 65 and [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else if [Fish]> 65 and [Goat]> 65 and [Pork]> 65 and [Beef]> 65 then "Yes"
else "No", type text)
