Multiple lines in IF statement

[ptamas88]

Hi everybody!

I have looked all over the internet, and found chunks of information, but havent had success in using these infos in my querys.
So my problem is:
1. I have 3 Querys which do almost the same thing, but with little differences.
2. I wanna sum these 3 queries up in one query with an IF statement.
3. The IF statement gets the data from the first command of the query, and after that command the IF statement comes in the second command.
4. The rest of the code should be in the IF statement.
Here is my code:

let
    Source = Folder.Files("..."),
    First command = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Service Provider", each if List.Count(List.FindText(Text.Split([Folder Path],"\"),"Vodafone")) >0 then "Vodafone" else if List.Count(List.FindText(Text.Split([Folder Path],"\"),"T-Mobile")) >0 then "T-Mobile" else ""),
    The IF command = if [Service Provider] = "Vodafone" then /[B]/here should come the magic
    //the following commands should be in the true branch of the IF statement[/B]
       FILTER files = Table.SelectRows(The IF command, each Text.Contains([Name], "...") and ([Extension] = ".csv")),
       ADD COLUMN1 = Table.AddColumn(FILTER files, "Date", each Date.FromText(Text.Start(Text.End([Folder Path],7),4)&"."&Text.Start(Text.End([Folder Path],3),2)&".01"), type date),
       ADD COLUMN2 = Table.AddColumn(ADD COLUMN1", "Year", each Date.Year([Date])),
in
    ADD COLUMN2
[B]//here comes the else branch
    [/B]else 
       ADD COLUMN1 = Table.AddColumn(FILTER files, "Date", each Date.FromText(Text.Start(Text.End([Folder Path],7),4)&"."&Text.Start(Text.End([Folder Path],3),2)&".01"), type date),
       ADD COLUMN2 = Table.AddColumn(ADD COLUMN1", "Year", each Date.Year([Date])),
in
   ADD COLUMN2

Can you help me in this situation? What is the proper syntax?

Hello ptama88,

I have questions...

1. 1st command: would the simpler search for "Vodafone" string anywhere in [Folder Path] produce the result you want, rather than splitting [Folder Path]?
2. Not sure if I should take your "..." search literally: Do you really have file names with "..." (3 consecutive dots) in them?
3. Can you provide an example of Folder Path text which shows what data is before #Add Column1" & #"Add Column2", and expected results from each step.

Here is my sample data. Please revise in your sample.

Name	Extension	Date accessed	Date modified	Date created	Folder Path

    #"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Changed Type", "Folder Path", "Folder PathUC"),
