Hi @Anonymous,

In Power BI Desktop Report view, right-click your table and select “New Column”, then apply the following DAX.

NewColumn = IF(Table1[Status]="sold",FORMAT( Table1[Days to Contract]+Table1[Listing Date],"mmmm-yyyy"),"00")

Thanks,

It looks like you're in the query editor. The query editor does not use the DAX language. You need to learn the power query language. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt211003.aspx

The syntax for an if statement in Power Query is "if <condition> then <result> else <result>". The language is case sensitive.
