Return if one condition OR another is met

I am trying to create a column that returns if a project is "expired" or "not expired."  (My column C)

If the permit start date is less than (before) to the construction start date OR if the construction start date is blank and the permit start date is less than (before/has passed) today it is expired.

 

Permit Start DateConstruction Start DateNew Column (Expired or Not Expired)
What I am trying to create
6/24/2023 Expired
1/2/202212/30/2021Not Expired
5/3/20245/15/2024Expired

Hi, @lynnzrae 

This DAX only works in Measure creation, if you want to achieve this effect in Calculate column you can use the following DAX.

DAX:

Condition column = 
IF (
    [Permit Start] < [DateConstruction],
    "Expired",
    IF (
        [DateConstruction] = BLANK ()
            && [DateConstruction] < TODAY (),
        "Expired",
        "Not Expired"
    )
)

the above didn't return the correct values but I massaged the two formulas together and got what I needed so I am good to go.  Thank you for your help!

Hi, @lynnzrae 

You can try the following measure to solve the problem.

vyaningymsft_0-1719883872900.png

Measure:

Condition = 
VAR _permitStart =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Permit Start] )
VAR _dateConstruction =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[DateConstruction] )
VAR _today =
    TODAY ()
VAR _result =
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[DateConstruction] ),
        IF (
            ( _permitStart < _dateConstruction )
                || (
                    ISBLANK ( _dateConstruction )
                        && _permitStart < _today
                ),
            "Expired",
            "Not Expired"
        )
    )
RETURN
    _result

I copy and pasted and it accepted the formula but it returned empty cells

 

I have my column with no errors but everything under the column header is blank
