Power query formula

[matka123499]

Hello,

I have set of data as in bellow. I would need to add in power query editor another colum which would be calculated according to condition. If ExpenseBasis_ID has "Percentage" in it then it will return the same value as we have in Amount1 column to column Amount2, however if there isn't "Percentage" in column ExpenseBasis_ID it would be using formula (Amount1 *12). Can you please help me with this? Thank you!

ExpenseBasis_ID	Amount1	Amount 2
Percentage	2
Amount 2	5
Amount 1	6
Percentage	3
Amount 4	2
Percentage	9

Hi @matka123499 ,

I would only add to @tharunkumarRTK solution, in the formula box of the custom column in Power Query:

if Text.Contains( [ExpenseBasis_ID], "Percentage" ) then [Amount1] else [Amount1] * 12

This suggestion comes because you state that "If ExpenseBasis_ID has "Percentage" " so I would imagine that the ExpenseBasis column may sometimes have some other characters when its Percentage.

Hope this answer solves your problem!
