Creating a new column if values in column 1 = column 2

‎05-18-2016 02:51 PM

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a new column that includes all names in column Fullname if they are equal 

to a certain value in column UserType.

 

If Mary Byrne in Fullname is of UserType "Caregiver", I want Mary added to a new column Caregiver.

Tried this with no luck -> Carergiver = IF( Users[FullName],[UserType]="Caregiver")

if you are doing this in Power Query then
this should do it
=if [usertype]="caregiver" then [Fullname] else ""

if you are creating a calculated column then its

Caregiver = if(users[UserType]="caregiver",users[Fullname],BLANK())

The first part of an IF is to check the logic so it checks to see if the first expression is true or false
then the second part is what is returned if its TRUE
and the last if it is false
