Unable to get this result when I copy code into another query! Code here is in PROPER format!!

[Rhothgar]

Hi all 

Finally worked out how to provide sample data.

Basically, I started a new example and the code below gives me the result I want.

However, when I copy code into another query, it doesn't work. NB. Harrison Ford is not in source code of new query that I am trying to copy this code into.

I created a table for the sample and added a column and manually typed the values in I wanted to see and it created the "Added Conditional Column" code for me.

let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("NcoxCsMwDADArwjN+URoMMVTpizGg+oYYlAkoyhDf18T6HpcShiIiwrMVo7mtfiFE77JrF1Dg9qOeUq43twhtOJNZYSo4vaFjW72as8YuqgQ7/Cis38q85+jHgKLVsz5Bw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Company Name (delivery)
" = _t, #"Full name (delivery)" = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Company Name (delivery)
", type text}, {"Full name (delivery)", type text}}),
#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if [#"Full name (delivery)"] = "Harrison Ford" then "Falcon Architects" else if [#"Full name (delivery)"] = "Jontry Vaulter" then "Pulp Fiction" else [#"Full name (delivery)"], type text)
in
#"Added Conditional Column"

This is the result I see from the above and the result I would like when I try to replicate same into live final query:-



So basically put, if no "Company Name (delivery)" exists then I would like to duplicate the value from the "Full name (delivery)" cell to propagate into the "Company name (delivery)" instead of it being left blank.

NOTE:  In all cases of code I have tried, I have of course used the correct column name in terms of where the lower and uppercare letters are placed.

However, then adding the code into the live final query just fails so I've tried editing the code into the other query to achieve the same result:-

#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if [#"Company Name (delivery)"] <> null then [#"Company Name (delivery)"] else if [#"Company Name (delivery)"]) = null then [#"Full name (delivery)"])

Using <> null was probably your issue. That usually gives you an error.

I'm not convinced it was. I tried all manner of operators but it simply wouldn't work. 

I've got a lot more tinkering to do as the system it is being exported to gave a few errors. 

I need to try and work out how I can export items that are over 300cm girth ( using (2 x (H + W))+ L  from height, width and length data) into one worksheet and discard anything below and then vice versa on the other worksheet.

It's a work in progress. 😁

Would someone be so kind as to advise me how to tidy this code up please?  I've got reordered and renamed columns all over the place.  It would be nice to tidy up the applied steps!

I cannot post the actual file but would simply like to consolidate the lines.  Is this even possible?  I read some articles that say it is but the examples shown looked way too complex for my abilities!

Like you mentioned - we do not see the data. I just delete some part of code and edited few steps. Try this:

Tip: I think that you do not need all columns. Instead of reordering them you can hold CTRL then start clicking to column headers continuously. When you select all wanted columns, right click on one of selected column header and choose REMOVE OTHER COLUMNS option. This will remove non-selected columns and reorder them the way you were choosing them.

#"Reordered Columns"

[Rhothgar]

WOW! That's such a great tip.

I've found it quite labourious to reorder.
You are right I do not need all columns.
I am slowly but surely gaining confidence now.  Just this morning I was going to post another problem as I got an expression error



But instead I looked at the code and tried to figure out what was wrong.

This line had the number 5 in it so I changed it to 1 and retested and it resolved the error then I changed it to 0.

= #"Added Custom1"{0}[Custom]

You don't know how happy this makes me to actually be learning stuff like this at my age!
You are an absolute diamond helping people out as you do.  Everyone on here is just great.
I glad I can self-help a little now and I can only grow I think.

Last night I broke down the two queries to split between two worksheets, one for box sizes over 300 cm girth and one for box sizes below.  That in itself is life changing in simplifying my workload and ensuring errors are not made.

So thanks again and apologies for being so dumb the other week in not being able to work out how to post sample data properly even.

I hope I finally got it right this time!

Very best wishes.

[Rhothgar]

Guys and gals,

I've managed to get it to work using this:-

= Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value", "Custom", each if [#"Company name (delivery)"] = null then [#"Full name (delivery)"] else [#"Company name (delivery)"])

For some strange reason, when I was typing the code manually into the "Add Conditional Column" fields, I was not getting the correct result but when I realised there was a dropdown adjacent the then and else functions, selected "Select column" and dropdown with column names appeared, by selecting the column name it works.

Can anyone say why it did not work even when I entered code manually into Advanced Editor window please?
