Power query is case sensitive. Also, trim will not turn a bunch of spaces into null. Are you testing for null, blank spaces or both?

 

Below is both

 

if [CI ID] = null  or Text.Trim([CL ID]) = "" then  [Server Name] else [CI ID]

I am presuming that you are using the if then else within a new column.

 

If [Coll1] = null then [Coll2]  else [Coll1]
