Hello,
I have a pretty simple question. I am having some trouble trying to figure out what am I doing wrong here. I am providing the code here. I need a colmn that categorized the index. I am still learning power query so this is pretty silly.
If [grade] > [proficiency_index] then "Above Grade"
else if [grade] = [proficiency_index] then "At Grade"
else if [grade] < [proficiency_index] then "Below Grade"
The "grade" column in a decimal column and "proficiency_index" is a whole number column.
I am getting the following error:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Two issues, use lower case if and you have an extra else if:
if [grade] > [proficiency_index] then "Above Grade" else if [grade] = [proficiency_index] then "At Grade" else "Below Grade"

It worked! Thank you
"Else" condition is missing in last "if" statement.
Or delete the last "if" statement as below.
If [grade] > [proficiency_index] then "Above Grade"
else if [grade] = [proficiency_index] then "At Grade"
else "Below Grade"
I believe it's missing the last else:
If [grade] > [proficiency_index] then "Above Grade"
else
if [grade] = [proficiency_index] then "At Grade"
else
if [grade] < [proficiency_index] then "Below Grade"
else ????
What do you mean by last else here? I am sorry I am not getting you. This is all my column would show:
It is still showing the same error,
