How to find a single cell in a column with an if then divide it by 5 without making a new column

[mindfulmike]

Hi all, 

I have 2 columns, Clients and their Totals. One client needs to have their total divided by 5. 

I made a conditonal column that works, formula: = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", each if [Client] = "ABC" then [Total]/5 else [Total])

Althouugh this works, is there a way to select the Total column and do this without creating a new column?

As far as I know the this cannot be done under Transform, Standard operations because I cannot us an each if expression. 

Thanks!

=Table.ReplaceValue(PreviousStepName,each [Client],5,(x,y,z)=>if y="ABC" then x/z else x,{"Total"})

Hi @mindfulmike ,

Please try:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTI0VIrVATKdgGwjIyjbGcgxNlaKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Clients = _t, Totals = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Clients", type text}, {"Totals", Int64.Type}}),
    Custom1 = Table.FromColumns({Table.ToColumns(#"Changed Type"){0}} & {List.Transform(Table.ToRows(#"Changed Type"), each if _{0}="ABC" then _{1}/5 else _{1})},{"Clients","Totals"})
in
    Custom1

Table.SelectRows(prevStep, each ([Column1]/5 = 1))
