I am trying to remove the last two digits from [ACCOUNT_NUMBER] if [ACCOUNT_TYPE] = "H" else simply return [ACCOUNT_NUMBER].
Where am I going wrong with this formula:
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Table.TransformColumns only gives you access to a single column at a time, not the entire row. You cannot do conditional logic based on other columns in the same row. The error is saying that _ is a number, not a record/row of the table. [ACCOUNT_TYPE] is the same as _[ACCOUNT_TYPE] in this case.
You have the right idea, but use Table.ReplaceValue instead.
Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type1",
each [ACCOUNT_NUMBER],
each if [ACCOUNT_TYPE] = "H" then Text.Start(Text.From([ACCOUNT_NUMBER]), Text.Length(Text.From([ACCOUNT_NUMBER])) - 2) else [ACCOUNT_NUMBER]
Replacer.ReplaceValue,
{"ACCOUNT_NUMBER"}
)
