    Can PowerQuery Check that Cells Meet Criteria

    I am starting to learn PQ I have a question if someone can answer for me

    I would like to know which function would I use to use to check if Cell A= X if cell B=Y if Cell C=Z

    I have the full PDF of PQ it's just that I cannot find the function I think I need.

    One I have learnt over the last few months, " You are NEVER too old to learn ".
    Sometimes I forget to say " Thank You " for your assistance, so here I say " A BIG Thank You. "

    Re: A general question in Power Query

    G'day, Pete!

    This is not a general question - it's a specific question about checking cell values. I shouldn't, but just this once I will change the thread title, but you must make sure in future that you don't use generic titles.

    When you say A, B and C, I presume you mean columns?

    Your question, I am afraid, is not substantial enough even for a yes/no answer.

    PowerQueriy's main function is to transform data, but it can do some calculations in the process. It isn't really for data validation, if that's what you mean.

    Good Morning Ali

    I deliberated just what I should have formatted my question, and which topic to put it under.

    I have 3 cells that I want to check what digits are in each those cells separately . ( The cells are not related to each other)

    This isn't a job for PowerQuery. This is something to do within Excel with data validation or with formulae, or with VBA.

    In PowerQuery, you can use cell contents from Excel as parameters.

    Hi

    GOOD that is what I was looking to ascertain, which to run under PQ or VBA, so it looks like a VBA project.

    Cheers

    Yes - and I can move it to the VBA section if you wish. Just tell me which thread.
