i am trying to create a condition like

If you are trying to replace the values in the original column you can add the following code to your query...

Table.ReplaceValue(previousTableStep,each [Harm],each if [Harm] = "A" then "nom" else if [Harm] = "B" then "pol" else [Harm],Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Harm"})

If you want a new column then use the 'Conditional Column' button on the 'Add Column' ribbon.

It is true, just put the column name inside [] like

 

if [Harm]="" ,,,,,,,,

 

so go to the transform tab and pick add new column and start to write your formula in the bellow syntax

 

 

if ......... then ................ else ........................
