Creating New column using condition

Hi,
I have a table which has 2 columns: 

(i) Amount

(ii) Fx rate

 

I want to create a new column 'New Amount' which is (Amount/Fx rate). However, the Fx rate column can be 'null' at times. When that happens, I want to retain the value mentioned in 'Amount' column in the 'New Amount' column. Please find an example below:

AmountFx rateNew Amount
1001.283.3
2001.3153.8
150null150.0

 

Also, I want to do this operation in my original table and not use a measure. 
Request for any help! Thanks!

Hi @SJHALANI 

 

Do you want the column created in PQ or in DAX?

 

Power Query

= if [Fx rate] is null then [Amount] else [Amount]/[Fx rate]

 

 

DAX

Column = IF([Fx rate] > 0, DIVIDE([Amount],[Fx rate]), [Amount])

 

 

Regards

 

Phil
