Date Counter Column

Hello All,

 

I am looking to create 1 column that counts each date that is older than today's date.

 

This Counter Column will be feeding from 4 other columns. Each column contain a specific date (Future/Past dates).

 

Please take a look into the below screenshot to help you understand better:

 

Example.1

Mobafa_0-1653576131794.png Counter Column = 2

 

Mobafa_1-1653576259442.png Counter Column = 2

 

 

Mobafa_2-1653576320922.pngCounter Column = 4

 

 

any help is appreciated :))

 

Thank you,

Mo

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

How about this one:

Here the code for the calculated column:

Column = 
( Table[Date1] < TODAY() ) + ( Table[Date2] < TODAY() ) + ( Table[Date3] < TODAY() ) + ( Table[Date4] < TODAY() )

Quite interesting, DAX considers TRUEs as 1 and FALSE as 0. That comes in handy in many cases, such as yours 🙂

 

Let me know if this helps!
