I'm new to DAX and was wondering if I could get some help.
I want to create a new column that would show if a task is overdue.
First I need to check the 'Current Status' column and see if it contains 'Not started' or 'In progress' to see if the task is still open (closed & completed are the other options in the column). Then I need to check the 'Due Date' column and compare with today's date to see if it's overdue.
What is the easiest way to write this in DAX?
Solved! Go to Solution.
status = IF([CurrentStatus]="Not started" || [CurrentStatus]="In progress","Open","Close")
duedate = IF([DueDate]<TODAY(),"Overdue","Not overdue")
status = IF([CurrentStatus]="Not started" || [CurrentStatus]="In progress","Open","Close")
duedate = IF([DueDate]<TODAY(),"Overdue","Not overdue")
