Help with converting number to negative based on another column value.

Hi All,

 

I am new to this so my question could be very basic. I am trying to create a new custom column to display the numbers from a column named "actual amount" in either negative or positive values, based on a value "Outgoing" from a column called "payment direction.

 

How can I do that, please? I have ssen other topics about this but I can't seem to get this to work for me. Thanks.

= Table.AddColumn(PriorStepOrTableName, "Actual Amount", each if [Direction] = "Outgoing" then [Amount] * -1 else Amount)

I’m usually answering from my phone, which means the results are visualized only in my mind. You’ll need to use my answer to know that it works—but it will work!!
