After numerous hours of researching this issue for 2 days, I am really stumped.
I have tried to create a simple function of either If or Switch and both return the above mentioned error.
I even created a sample based on the example supplied on MSDN for the IF Function, trying to use it both in the Power BI Desktop and/or Power Query for Excel 2013 (32 bit) environments. Without any luck.
I am using the latest download of Power query and PBI, I just set up my computer in the last week. Urgently need of help.
Thanks,
Kfs

Hi Karen,
sorry, didn't read your question right. This will be the formula with the added condition:
if [TermDate] <> null then ''Termed" else if ([#"#YearsofService"]>=2) then "2 + Years" else "Less Than 2 Years")
or
if [TermDate] <> "" then ''Termed" else if ([#"#YearsofService"]>=2) then "2 + Years" else "Less Than 2 Years""

Ok so I'm a little confused can I note formulate like the following?
=IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-01 (Jul)",1,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-02 (Aug)",2,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-03 (Sep)",3,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-04 (Oct)",4,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-05 (Nov)",5,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-06 (Dec)",6,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-07 (Jan)",7,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-08 (Feb)",8,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-09 (Mar)",9,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-10 (Apr)",10,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-11 (May)",11,IF([SubmitFiscalMonth]="FM-12 (Jun)",12,"N/A"))))))))))))
I think in M you have to use => if .... then ... else...
How should I modify the if then else statement to include another layer:
if(hasonevalue([Term Date]),"Termed" if([#"#YearsofService"]>=2) then "2 + Years" else "Less Than 2 Years")
Could you help with the syntax?
Karen
try this:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Reordered Columns2", "YearsofSvce", each if [YrofSvc] < 2 then 1 else 2)

Thanks for all the great input.

Exactly as @Sean said. And watch out: M is case sensitive!

@kfschaefer this is an issue with M
to me it looks like you are mixing up DAX and M the way you reference the column???
But @ImkeF is the M expert - maybe she can help you???
