Power Query - Of current year = Column Year

Hi 

 

I have a table that contains columns of years.  So that I can add some conditional formating these ciolumns I would like to add a custom column that uses an if statement 

 

If current year = column year 1 else 0

 

How would you suggest I do this in power query.

 

thank you

NewStep=Table.AddColumn(PreviousStepName,"CustomColumnName",each Byte.From(Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow())=[the colum name of year in previous step table]))
