if statement power query

Hi all, 

can anyone help me? 

I am using the below formula but the results are "Error". 

column name =IF(Tasks[TaskName]="Initiation",Tasks[TaskStartDate].[Date],"")

I want to find a specific name and then the dates of that name.

 

Thanks for your help

If you do it in Power Query then: 

 

=if Tasks[TaskName]="Initiation" then Tasks[TaskStartDate] else null

 

If you are adding it as a column using DAX in your data model then:

 

column name =IF(Tasks[TaskName]="Initiation",Tasks[TaskStartDate],"")
