DAX: How use dates in an IF function

Hi there,

 

Am currently working on an if function and have completed most of it, please see below:

 

VAR = IF( [QualityCheck(%)] > 1 && Order[NumberProductsOrdered] >= 2, "Green", BLANK())
 
Orders have an expiry date a year after delivery. I need another condition within the logical test bit which is that DONT consider orders within 3 months of it's expiry date. Expiry date is it's own column.
 
Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Kind regards,
Luke

Please try something like the following:

 

VAR = 
IF( 
[QualityCheck(%)] > 1 
&& Order[NumberProductsOrdered] >= 2
&& TODAY() < 'Table'[Expiry Date] - 90, --TODAY IS BEFORE 90 DAYS LEADING UP TO THE EXPIRY DATE
"Green", 
BLANK()
)
 
NOTE: In this example, I used TODAY().  However, if you need to compare it to a different date (i.e. Order[Order Date]), then simply switch to the desired date.
 
Regards,
Nathan

hi @LABrowne ,

 

What do you mean by "DONT consider orders within 3 months of it's expiry date", or what should be return in this case?
