    SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Concessed Date] ) && ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Test Date] ), TODAY(),
    ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Concessed Date] ), 'Table'[Test Date],
    ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Test Date] ), 'Table'[Concessed Date],
    'Table'[Concessed Date] < 'Table'[Test Date], 'Table'[Concessed Date],
    MAX ( 'Table'[Test Date], 'Table'[Concessed Date] )
)

     

    If this now works, please accept as the solution for others with the same challenge.
