I want to extract a different set of text from a column called "Description" when I used the Nested IF else statement in the custom column on power query it is not working or I could say the "OR" condition is not working.
Below is my complete query: The highlighted green color query is working but the remiaing part throwing an error
Error:
Expression.Error: 1 arguments were passed to a function which expects between 2 and 3.
Details:
Pattern=
Arguments=[List
Query:
if Text.Contains([Description],"Sptool identified") then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Description], "1.Exception: ", "2.Proce") as text
else
if Text.Contains([Description],"the exception being:") then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Description], "being:", "The impacted") as text
else
if Text.Contains([Description]="invoice" or [Description]="eRTY" or [Description]="EnGMT" or[Description]="buET" or [Description]="ECT") then "CPM" as text
else "Check"
Solved! Go to Solution.
Use below
if Text.Contains([Description],"Sptool identified") then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Description], "1.Exception: ", "2.Proce") as text
else
if Text.Contains([Description],"the exception being:") then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Description], "being:", "The impacted") as text
else
if List.ContainsAny({[Description]},{"invoice","eRTY","EnGMT","buET","ECT"},(x as text, y as text)=>Text.Contains(x,y)) then "CPM" as text
else "Check"
Use below
if Text.Contains([Description],"Sptool identified") then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Description], "1.Exception: ", "2.Proce") as text

else
if List.ContainsAny({[Description]},{"invoice","eRTY","EnGMT","buET","ECT"},(x as text, y as text)=>Text.Contains(x,y)) then "CPM" as text
