How to create 1 date column from 7 date columns
Hello,
I'm trying to use DAX to create a new date column aggregating 7 date columns.
If Date1 is not blank then Date1.
If Date1 is blank then Date2.
If Date2 is blank then Date3.
On through all 7 date columns.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Power BI newbie, any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Try the COALESCE function which returns the first non-blank argument:
COALESCE ( Table[Date1], Table[Date2], Table[Date3] ... )

That worked! Thanks so much. COALESCE is new for me, but will be very helpful for other situations.
