Power Bi Custom Column funtion

In MQuery, I'm trying to create a custom column. If another column has a value of 1 through 5 then the value in new column will be some text. It's given me a Token Else expected error. 

=if[#"Chair Independence Level"] = "1" then "Same Product Line" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= "2" then "Different Product Line" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= "3" then "Different Business Area" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= "4" then "Different Sector" 
else if [#"Chair Independence Level"]= "5" then "Not an Employee"

Does anyone know how to fix the problem or what I should change my code to?

The IF condition in Power query needs to be capped off with an ELSE statement. Just add the ELSE and you should be good to go:

=if[#"Chair Independence Level"] = "1" then "Same Product Line" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= "2" then "Different Product Line" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= "3" then "Different Business Area" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= "4" then "Different Sector" 
else if [#"Chair Independence Level"]= "5" then "Not an Employee"
else "NA"

If the #"Chair Independence Level" field is numeric, then:

=if[#"Chair Independence Level"] = 1 then "Same Product Line" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= 2 then "Different Product Line" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= 3 then "Different Business Area" 
else if[#"Chair Independence Level"]= 4 then "Different Sector" 
else if [#"Chair Independence Level"]= 5 then "Not an Employee"
else "NA"

You are working on the mQuery side of powerby so no DAX.

You are missing your last else statement:

else if [#"Chair Independence Level"]= "5" then "Not an Employee" ELSE "the other"
