Future Date calculation in powerquery

Hi,

 

I am new to Power BI and need assistance to achieve this below requirement and appreciate any help.

 

I have a Status column with (A,B,C) values and a created date (Values when a record is created). Now,I need to create another date column (Future Date) with these conditions.

When Status = 'A' then Future_date = (Created_Date + 6 months) else

Status ='B' then Future_date=(Created_Date+3months) end.

 

Thanks again for your help.

Hi @jdevar243 ,

 

in Power Query, try to add a custom column like:
 
= if [status] = "A" then Date.AddMonths ([Created_Date], 6) 
else if [status] = "B" then Date.AddMonths ([Created_Date], 3)
else [Created_Date]
 
 
or with DAX,  add a calculated column like:
Column = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    [Status] = "A", EDATE([Created_Date], 6),
    [Status] = "B", EDATE([Created_Date], 3),
    [Created_Date]
)
