Is that possible to add a conditional column with such statement in Excel Power Query?
Excel Formula:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Classified rows", "Personalize", each if QueryA[MyData] = "X" and QueryB[MyData] = "Y"  then "Z" else [MyData)
Also a simplier formula like if [MyData]="1" then QueryA[MyData] return a list of values not the corresponding QueryA MyData row data.
It's not working.Thanks

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
QueryA[MyData] is a List and "X" is a Value so QueryA[MyData] = "X" will be FALSE, the same with the second element
maybe post via XL2BB representative example(s), M you are using and expected result or share excel file with these example via OneDrive, GoogleDrive, DropBox or any similar service
all with detailed info what are you trying to achieve

QueryA[MyData] and QueryB[MyData] refer to the whole column [MyData] as list

You need to add index column

Power Query:
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
custom = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Personalize", each if QueryA[MyData]{[Index]} = "X" and QueryB[MyData]{[Index]}  = "Y" then "Z" else [MyData])

I managed to achieve the goal using append and merge queries.
Thanks all
