Hello,
I'm trying to determine if I can do this task via Power Query, or if I need to write the formula after I load.
I have columns of data (see attached if needed) with Lead Day, Trail Day and Day of the week.
This is what I want to achieve:
If the DayOfWeek is 1, 2, or 3, then it should be equal to LeadDay, and I want the cell to say YES.
If the DayOfWeek is 4, 5, or 6, then it should be equal to TrailDay, and I want the cell to say YES.
If that will not work, then I would want to try this:
If the DayOfWeek is 1, 2, or 3, CONCATENATE with LeadDay
If the DayOfWeek is 4, 5, or 6, CONCATENATE with TrailDay
Thanks for any help anyone has.
Hi Nikki,
Thanks for your question. I've moved it to the Power Query MEMBERS group. This way I know you are a course member and will make sure you get a prompt reply.
Your file isn't attached. After clicking 'add files' you have to click 'start upload'.
That said, in session 6.13 of the Power Query course I cover IF OR formulas using the List.AnyTrue function. Have you watched that lesson?
If you're still stuck please try uploading your file again so I can give you a tailored answer.
Kind regards,
Mynda
Hi Nikki,
The formula is pretty simple, try to add a new column with this formula:
=if [DayOfWeek]<=3 then [LeadDay] else if [DayOfWeek]>3 then [TrailDay] else "null"
You can replace [LeadDay] with "YES" if you want, but make sure you don't replace [TrailDay] with "YES" also, from your message I understand that the cell should show a YES in both cases. Try "NO" for days > 3 🙂
Thank you Mynda and Catalin. I could not determine the best way to do this.
And thank you for moving the question to the members forum.
Nikki
