I also determined that if you complete the custom column in m language it automatically converts it into a conditional column.
Thank You very much!

Hi @Anonymous ,
Yes, that is true. Once you work more with Power Query, you will be able to write all your columns as custom columns. The trick is study how the Advanced Editor changes the syntax. @KenPuls has written a great book M is for (Data) Monkey, gives you lots of tips, tricks and patterns.
You are very welcome!
