How to add where /Filter condition in DAX

Hello Friends,  I am learning Dax so please excuse if I am asking question that has already been asked but I searched and couldn't find right solution. My questions is very simple.. 

 

I have a table  Called "Table1" ( attached here) that has ID, Task Name, seqNo columns. Now I want to add a new column  Let's called it "PAD Task Name" to that table, The condition is 

Add  three space at the beginning to "Task Name" column where seqNo not equal to 0 and don't make anychnage to if seqno = 0

 

I found out how to add space at the beginning  but DON'T KNOW HOW TO apply it to only rows where  seqNo not euqal to 0 

Text.PadStart([TASK_NAME],Text.Length([TASK_NAME])+3," ")
I want result just like in "PAD Task Name"column  shown in screen shot.
