Left(1) in power query

Hi,

 

I have a column with nominal codes ie

 

144722

 

Now if it begins with 1 I want to have a column which says Carlisle.

 

2 would be Egremont.

 

How would I go about doing column based on the first digit in another column in Power Query.

 

Thanks

 

Chris

In the Query Editor, try adding this Custom Column

 

=if Text.Start(Text.From([ColumnName]),1)="1" then "Carlise" else "Egremont"
