    That could be like

        AddCustom = Table.AddColumn(Source,
            "Custom",
            each
                if List.Contains( { "D", "H", "M", "N", "P", "R", "T", "W"}, [Status] )
                then
                    if [Date] > #date(2020, 12, 31)
                    then
                        if ([Balance] > 0 or [Withdarwal] > 0)
                        then 4 else 5
                    else 
                        if ([Balance] > 0 or [Withdarwal] > 0)
                        then 7 else 10
                else
                    if List.Contains( { "A", "B"}, [Status] )
                    then
                        if ([Balance] > 0 or [Withdarwal] > 0)
                        then 1
                        else 2
                    else
                        if List.Contains( { "E", "F", "S"}, [Status] )
                        then 3
                        else
                            if [Staus] = "Z" then 9 else null
        )
    

    but perhaps more effective will be make referenced tables, filter and combine back; and/or add intermediate columns for the conditions. That all could affect performance and could be critical on large files.
