    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"
