    Hi dedelman_clng,

     

    Based on my test on Power BI Desktop 2.38.4491.282 version, when we add a new conditional column in the query, the column will return correct data, though the operator is missing when we open the conditional column settings again. As you can see the formula is also perform 'Is Before' function.

     

     

     

    In your scenario, please try to recreate this additional column in query editor, check which formula is used for this column.

     

    Meanwhile, I will report the issue about missing operator in additional settings.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

    This issue will be addressed in September release of PBI Desktop. Please wait for the coming update and have another try later.

     

    Best Regards,

You can also send a frown from the PBI Desktop. I've had faster response using this method.

    Thanks trebgatte, but I cannot get to the frowny-face from the "Add Conditional Column" dialog box.  The screen shot it proposes to send is of the data, not the screen with the blanked out operator.  Is there possibly a shortcut key that can get me to the frown, or can I add my own screenshots to the message?

     

    Sorry for the newb questions.
