In Power Query, how do you combine Columns 1 and 2 to produce Column 3 as in the example below. The value 999999999 is stored as text.

Col1Col2Col3
999999999999999999999999999
null#N/Anull
999999999#N/A999999999
null999999999999999999

<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
You can add a new column with an if statement. You need to know the rules of course.

The syntax is (case sensitive)

= if column1 = something then column1 else column2
