Hello Shan_Drex12
the formula has to be like this
if [#"Column 1 (scac)"]="MONO" or [#"Column 1 (scac)"]="SHEK" or [#"Column 1 (scac)"]="VTEC" then [#"Column 2 (# of days)"]*250 else [#"Column 2 (# of days)"]*35here the complete example
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8vX381fSUTJVitWJVgr2cPUGcgwNwLywEFdnEM9IKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Column 1 (scac)" = _t, #"Column 2 (# of days)" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column 1 (scac)", type text}, {"Column 2 (# of days)", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if [#"Column 1 (scac)"]="MONO" or [#"Column 1 (scac)"]="SHEK" or [#"Column 1 (scac)"]="VTEC" then [#"Column 2 (# of days)"]*250 else [#"Column 2 (# of days)"]*35) in #"Added Custom"Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
