Multiple Conditions Power Query

Hi folks,

 

Hope someone can help me with this...

 

I need a column with multiple conditions but can´t figure it out if it is posible.

 

1. If Bank is empty and Promo starts with "P BEN" else "SAB00" then "CRN00" but...

2. If Bank is empty and Promo starts with "P ALT" else "SAB01" then "CRN01" but...

3. If Bank is empty and Promo starts with "P AÑO" else "SAB02" then "CRN02" but...

Other way could be 

 

1. If Bank is empty and Company "A" and Promo starts with "P BEN" else "SAB00" then "CRN00" but...

2. If Bank is empty and Company "B" and Promo starts with "P ALT" else "SAB01" then "CRN01" but...

3. If Bank is empty and Company "C" and Promo starts with "P AÑO" else "SAB02" then "CRN02"

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @dufoq3,

 

Thanks for the quick answer.

 

The request was a bit confusing.

Lets see if it is easier to understand.

 

The image below is the normal table.

Normal Table.PNG

  
And the image below is the expected result.

Result.PNG

 

I was trying to get the expected result in Power Query.  

 

The conditions are:

1) If the company Smart has the Bank Name empty and the Promo text starts with OB ALT the result is SAB 001 if not CRN 001.

2) If the company Omen has the Bank Name empty and the Promo text starts with P BEN the result is SAB 002 if not CRN 002.

3) If the company Hey has the Bank Name empty and the Promo text starts with P ALT the result is SAB 003 if not CRN 003.

 

Once again thank you very much for your help.
