IF Statement Custom Column

Hey,

 

Trying to create a Custom Column for an IF Calculation, but I keep getting an Error?

 

Finanical Year = IF ( MONTH (Opportunity[ActualCloseDate]) <4, "0", "1") + Year(Opportunity[ActualCloseDate])

 

Thanks!

    What kind of error are you getting?

    There's nothing wrong with this DAX formula (it should work with or without the quotes "0", "1" or 0, 1)

     

    Financial Year = IF ( MONTH ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) < 4, "0", "1" ) + YEAR('Calendar'[Date])

    Are you maybe doing this in the Query Editor by any chance? There the syntax is different

    Financial Year = (if Date.Month([Date]) < 4 then 0 else 1) + Date.Year([Date])

    Hope this helps.

    Good Luck! :smileyhappy:

      Yeah was trying to do it in Query Editor - Thanks for the link!

      Much Appericated!!!

       

      In the Query Editor - how would I apply a check to only run the IF, if the column contained data?

        I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for...

         

        Financial Year = if [Date] = null then null else (if Date.Month([Date]) < 4 then 0 else 1) + Date.Year([Date])

        Good Luck! :smileyhappy:

         

        Otherwise I suspect MarcelBeug may have something to say! :smileyhappy:

  • Hi Guys,

     

    I am trying to add a column that will contain if statment in query editor: if column Name contains a word "FALSE" than show me "False" if not show "n/a". At the minute I am getting a token literal error even if I only type =if.

    I would be grateful for your help.
