Hi, @Smash125 ;
In power query , you could add custom column.
if [MiddleName]=null or [MiddleName]=" " then [FirstName]&" "&[LastName]
else [FirstName]&" "&[MiddleName]&" "&[LastName]
The final show:
Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8s0vSk/MU9JR8kpNzswrSQSylGJ1opWcgQxHIHZSio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [LastName = _t, FirstName = _t, MiddleName = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"LastName", type text}, {"FirstName", type text}, {"MiddleName", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Full Name", each if [MiddleName]=null or [MiddleName]=" " then [FirstName]&" "&[LastName]
else [FirstName]&" "&[MiddleName]&" "&[LastName])
in
#"Added Custom"

in M, Text.Combine will ignore any null
NewStep=Table.CombineColumns(PreviousStepName,{"FirstName","MiddleName","LastName"},each Text.Combine(_," "),"FullName")
