I need to create a custom column with a conditional statement. This is what the statement would look like in Excel:
if(column1 = 1, if(or(column2 = "red", column2= "blue", column2 = "yellow"), "Yes", ""))
But I've not managed to find the equivalent in the query editor yet.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, changing between languages can be tricky. It would probable be very similar if you do it on dax. Anyway, let's check this on power query for the query editor.
if [column1] = 1 then
if ([column2] = "red" or [column2] = "blue" or [column2] = "yellow") then "Yes"
else ""
else ""
I think that would be exactly the condition.
Regards,
Happy to help!
