Hi,
I am trying to change a column name based on a condition.
The condition is if another column' rows contain a certain value such as 'UK' then change the column name to the specified name.
Example:
The column to be renamed is called "Rename", the column to check (condition) for is "Country"
Rename | Country |
data | UK |
data2 | US |
data3 | UK |
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Codemunchkin you can try this
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSkksSTRU0lEqLVaK1YFwjYDcRCS+MZCfnJinFBsLAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Country = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Country", type text}}),
Custom1 = if List.Contains(#"Changed Type"[Country],"us") then Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Name", "Rename"}}) else #"Changed Type"
in
Custom1
