Comparing ‘null’ values in Power Query
Recently I needed to do the very simple thing in Power Query. I have the column of numbers and need to check if the values in this column are less than N and then put a corresponding text value in the new column. The function for the new column is something like this:
= if [Values] < 5 then "A" else "B"
Actually some values are not a numbers but nulls:
Data contains nulls and comparison return an error
And this simple calculation returns an error for these values!
Why? There is the catch, which is hidden in the depth of documentation (actually on the page 67 of the “Power Query Formula Language Specification (October 2016)” PDF which you can obtain there.
Follow me:
