Hi,
I have a column called 'Sentiment' with numbers between 0 and 1.
I want to add a new column based on the condition as follows:
[Sentiment] <0.5 then "Negative"
[Sentiment] =0.5 then "Neutral"
[Sentiment] >0.5 then "Positive"
I know you can add a conditional column in PowerBI.
But at the beginning I wrote a query like this:
If [Sentiment]< 0.5 then "Negative"
else
If [Sentiment] = 0.5 then "Neutral"
else
If [sentiment] >0.5 then "Positive"
else NULL
There is an error message says Token Eof expected.
What should be the correct query for this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Iyao - Don't capitalize your if's Also, I don't think you want NULL capitalized either. M is picky about these things.

It works. Thank you
