Not able to get this through

Hi Guys

 

newbie to M - I was trying to add a column so that if it match the GL code , it will bring up a certain text ( a string) otherwise null. I was planning to repeat a series of this

 

But I can;t get past the "then" statement - it says " Token then expected"  ... the attached diagram shld be self exlantatory. Pls help me fix this 🙂

if then else in Power Query does not need commas.  You can take those out to avoid your error.  Also, Null should be lowercase null

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat
