Custom Column Query
Hi,
I am having issues for the following. Basically Im trying to pull a live currency rate but the currency is only pulled to todays date. In close I have future dates. I want to have a custom column that if the close date is future date then just use todays date.
Thanks so much in advance
Hi powerbiwork ,
You can try to create your custom column as
if [Date]<=Date.From( DateTime.LocalNow()) then [Date] else Date.From( DateTime.LocalNow())Creating a calculated column is easier.
Column = IF([Date]<=TODAY(),[Date],TODAY())You can check more details from here.

Hi powerbiwork ,
I noticed that you forget to add brackets before "else". Please try to add it.

LinkedinAh, got it thank you. But now I seem to have another error 😞
Before you add custom column, please check the format of CloseDate - should be "Date".
