IF function Need Help

[Nathanael04]

I've been having this issue for days already and i hope someone can help me with this.

= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom", each if[order_estimated_delivery_date] >0 then "Early Delivery" else "null"
(if[order_estimated_delivery_date] =0 then "On Time" else "null"
(if[order_estimated_delivery_date] <=0 then "Late Delivery" else "null")))

the problem that im having is that instead of having 3 results is im only having 1. I tried also with " cunditional column" but the same results.

Need help for this.

See the code below  and the file attached for a more elaborate solution where we first calculate the difference in days between the estimated and the actual delivery date. Note that the relevant steps in the M code below start at #"Added Custom1"

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("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", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [order_id = _t, customer_id = _t, order_status = _t, order_purchase_timestamp = _t, order_approved_at = _t, order_delivered_carrier_date = _t, order_delivered_customer_date = _t, order_estimated_delivery_date = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"order_id", type text}, {"customer_id", type text}, {"order_status", type text}, {"order_purchase_timestamp", type datetime}, {"order_approved_at", type datetime}, {"order_delivered_carrier_date", type datetime}, {"order_delivered_customer_date", type datetime}, {"order_estimated_delivery_date", type datetime}}),


    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Days_Diff", each Duration.Days([order_estimated_delivery_date]-[order_delivered_customer_date])),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Custom", each if [Days_Diff] >0 then "Early Delivery" else if [Days_Diff] =0 then "On Time" else if [Days_Diff] <0 then "Late Delivery" else null, type text)
in
    #"Added Custom"

See attached file. It's the same code as earlier. Do note that the [order_estimated_delivery_date] column in the data you have shared is of type date but it is an integer in the data you showed on your initial post. Integer is what makes sense here so I have replaced the dates with some random numbers in the data for the example

The code is correct.  The function Table.AddColum is being passed 3 arguments so perhaps you have not copied it in full or the error is coming from somewhere else. If you can share the query I can have a look

Hi @Nathanael04 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom", each
      if [order_estimated_delivery_date] >0 then "Early Delivery" else
        if [order_estimated_delivery_date] =0 then "On Time" else
          if [order_estimated_delivery_date] <=0 then "Late Delivery" else null )
