Hi,
I'm relatively new to Power Query and new to this forum. I'm hoping somebody can help me with my issue.
I'm trying to create a custom column where I'm trying to define a (in Excel) ceiling formula, but I get an error. I don't know what I need to do, because my formula should be complete, but I can't implement it.
The formula I created is as follow:
if [#"Weight (kg)"] > 200 then Number.RoundUp([#"Weight (kg)"]/50,0)*50 else
if [#"Weight (kg)"] > 100 then Number.RoundUp([#"Weight (kg)"]/20,0)*20 else
if [#"Weight (kg)"] > 30 then Number.RoundUp([#"Weight (kg)"]/10,0)*10 else
if [#"Weight (kg)"] > 0 then Number.RoundUp([#"Weight (kg)"]/5,0)*5
This is my Excel formula:
=IF(V2="";"";IF(V2>200;CEILING(V2;50);IF(V2>100;CEILING(V2;20);IF(V2>=30;CEILING(V2;10);CEILING(V2;5)))))
V2 corresponds with the [#"Weight (kg)"] field.
Hope somebody can help me with this.

Hi @MichaelK27 ,
There isn't else part in the end of the formula. For each if statement, there should be then and else.
If the [#"Weight (kg)"] <=0, what result do you want, directly add the result in the else part in the end.
Or based on the condition in your Excel formula:
This is my Excel formula:
=IF(V2="";"";IF(V2>200;CEILING(V2;50);IF(V2>100;CEILING(V2;20);IF(V2>=30;CEILING(V2;10);CEILING(V2;5)))))
I write a corresponding code:
if [#"Weight (kg)"]="" then "" else
if [#"Weight (kg)"] > 200 then Number.RoundUp([#"Weight (kg)"]/50,0)*50 else
if [#"Weight (kg)"] > 100 then Number.RoundUp([#"Weight (kg)"]/20,0)*20 else
if [#"Weight (kg)"] > 30 then Number.RoundUp([#"Weight (kg)"]/10,0)*10 else
Number.RoundUp([#"Weight (kg)"]/5,0)*5
