    = Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value2", "GT", each try if [MarketingMedium] = "cpc" and [MarketingSource]= "google" and not Text.Contains([MarketingCampaign], "brand") then 1 else if ([MarketingMedium] = "cpc" or [MarketingMedium] = "referral") and [MarketingSource]= "bing" and Text.Contains([MarketingCampaign], "yahoo") then 2 else 3 otherwise 3)

Use this in place of your previous code i.e. replace

= Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value2", "GT", each if [MarketingMedium] = "cpc" and [MarketingSource]= "google" and not Text.Contains([MarketingCampaign], "brand") then 1 else if [MarketingMedium] = "cpc" or [MarketingMedium] = "referral" and [MarketingSource]= "bing" and Text.Contains([MarketingCampaign], "yahoo") then 2 else 3)

 

WITH

= Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value2", "GT", each if [MarketingMedium] = "cpc" and [MarketingSource]= "google" and not Text.Contains([MarketingCampaign], "brand") then 1 else if ([MarketingMedium] = "cpc" or [MarketingMedium] = "referral") and [MarketingSource]= "bing" and Text.Contains([MarketingCampaign], "yahoo") then 2 else 3)
