Insert a new row if 2 fields are field
Hello,
I have a complex question I tried many solutions (please see below). I want to check if 2 fields are filled (not empty), if it is the case, I want to create a new row :
1. In the first one (the original one), Keep the value of column B and delete the value of column C
2. Adding a new row and keeping the value of column C and empty in the column B
Table :
| Col A | Col B | Col C | Col D |
| A1 | C1 | D1 | |
| A2 | BX | C2 | D2 |
| A3 | BZ | C3 | D3 |
| A4 | B4 | D4 |
Results :
| Col A | Col B | Col C | Col D |
| A1 | C1 | D1 | |
| A2 | BX | D2 | |
| A2 | C2 | D2 | |
| A3 | BZ | D3 | |
| A3 | C3 | D3 | |
| A4 | B4 | D4 |
I tried adding a new column where I check if 2 values are not empty, then I put the value of the column C. The probleme is the merging is not working and it can not enable me to delete the value of the row B in the orignial row :
= Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", each if ([B] <> null and [C] <> null) then (Table.InsertRows(#"Added Custom", 0, {[A=[A], code fab B=[B], C="",D=[D]]}))else null)
When I expand columns, I have the first value of B and C in all the columns B and C...
= Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Conditional Column", "Custom", {"A", "B", "C", "D"}, {"Custom.A", "Custom.B", "Custom.C", "Custom.d"})
I also tried to duplicate the rows where B and C are not empty, but I can not make a deletion at the same time...

I need to know the logic for treatment of last row where B4 is present but C4 is not present. But your output shows a single row which removes B4 and brings in C4 whereas C4 was nor present in your input table.
