Between Two Dates
Hi, I'm creating a Custom Column with some 'if else' bits going on. I'm nearly there but can't quite get the final piece.
I need to select a particular line if it's date is bewteen two dates...one of them fixed (01/01/1900) and the other from another date in the same row. BewteenDates doesn't work as I guess it's DAX not M. Any ideas please?
Here's a bit of the statement:
if [#"Anticipated Date of Completion / Return"] > Date.FromText("01/01/1900") and [#"Anticipated Date of Completion / Return"] < [Max Date] then "Overdue" else "blah blah blah"
Thanks
Otto_Luvpuppy - Well, error messages always help. So the biggest issue I see is that it looks like you are referring to a step as if it is a column but it is hard to tell. Try this query out and see how it matches up with yours:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtM30jcyMDJQ0gEyTSDMWJ1oBAckbowsbo4Qt0AWNzRASFhCJWIB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Date of Return" = _t, #"Max Date" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date of Return", type date}, {"Max Date", type date}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if [Date of Return] > Date.FromText("1/1/1900") and [Date of Return] < [Max Date] then "Overdue" else "Not") in #"Added Custom"You can just create a blank query and then paste in this code, completely replacing the existing code in Advanced Editor.

Otto_Luvpuppy - So what is the issue?
um......it doesn't work Greg.
Are you saying that what I have should work? If so I've probably got a bigger problem. 🤔
Thanks
