I have a column called Block Number in my table in which every imput ends with a letter. I want to create a new column which auto fills with yes or no depending on the letter?
This is what I thought it should look like but its coming up with a missing right parenthesis error?
=if(Text.End([Block Number],1)="T","YES",if(Text.End([Block Number],1)="V","YES",if(Text.End([Block Number],1)="W","YES", "NO")))
Any Help would be appreciated.

Hi @Elliot137 ,
You're using DAX IF syntax with M code functions.
In Power Query you could do something like this:
if List.Contains({"T", "V", "W"}, Text.End([Block Number], 1)) then "YES"
else "NO"

No problem.
IF( thisThing, thenThatThing, elseOtherThing ) is DAX/Excel syntax.
if thisThing then thatThing else otherThing is M code/Power Query syntax.
