Hi coolshib
If you only have Cr or Dr in the column, you can use if statement
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjKzMDcx0DMwUHAuUorViVYyNDM1MjFCFjECAgsQ3wXIjwUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Column1],"Cr") then Number.From(Text.Select([Column1],{"0".."9"}))*-1 else Number.From( Text.Select([Column1],{"0".."9"})), type number) in #"Added Custom"
