Helper IICompare 2 Dates - IF Condition - HELP
Hi everyone,
I`m working on one project that I need to compare two columns date, which are:
Contract Date | Renewed Contract Date
27/01/2021 | 26/01/2021
27/01/2021 | 28/01/2021
If "Renewed Contract Date " is bigger than "Contract Date" inform "Late" if not "Anticipated".For example"
Contract Date | Renewed Contract Date |
27/01/2021 | 26/01/2021 | "Anticipated"
27/01/2021 | 28/01/2021 | "Late"
My idea is using the IF condition but I didn't find an away to compare two dates using this condition, can you please
Can you please help me with it?
Thanks
If you want a calculated column fabiolamelo then the solution by danextian is what you need. If you want to do this in Power Query, you would use this:
= if [Date1] > [Date2] then "Late" else "Anticipated"If you need this in a measure, you will need to provide a bit more details with some data so we can help, but one fast way to try this is to use this measure:
Status = IF( MAX( 'Table'[Date1] ) > MAX( 'Table'[Date2] ), "Late", "Anticipated" )But that is a total stab in the dark as I don't know your expected output - not late/anticipated - but how you want to express it in a visual.

Provide expected output using a screenshot of Excel or other image. Do not provide a screenshot of the source data. I cannot paste an image into Power BI tables.

Try something like this:
IF ( 'Table'[Renewed Contract Date] > 'Table'[Contract Date], "Late", "Anticipated" ). - edhans

fabiolameloI didn't know that using MAX the IF condition for this case will works 🙂 Thank you so much for your help, I`m using the measure with MAX as you suggest and it was perfect 🙂 God bless you!
