Hi there,
I need to create custom column in the PowerBI using conditional statement. My condition is if reference column value is less than 5 then populate value as 0-5 Years, if reference column value is less than 15 then populate value as 5-15 Years and if reference column value is greater than 15 then populate value as Over 15 Years. How could I write syntax for this condition in PowerBI.

Please help. I can do this in excel with help of below formula.

=IF([@[Yrs_pg]]<5,"0-5 Years",IF([@[Yrs_pg]]<15,"5-15 Years",IF([@[Yrs_pg]]>15,"Over 15 Years")))

What I have tried:

=IF([@[Yrs_pg]]<5,"0-5 Years",IF([@[Yrs_pg]]<15,"5-15 Years",IF([@[Yrs_pg]]>15,"Over 15 Years")))

If you click on Add Column, then Conditional Column
Ater the If select your reference Column Name, Operator 'is less than' and Value 5. Output '0-5 Years'
Click on Add Clause
Select your Reference Column Name, Operator 'is less than' and Value 15. Output '5-15 Years'
Then in the Else section type 'Over 15 Years'

Alternatively use Add Column, Custom Column and type into the formula box

VB

if [Reference] < 5 then "0-5 Years" else if [Reference] < 15 then "5-15 Years" else "Over 15 Years"
