Calculate Text value based on date in another column
Softball question for some of the experts out there...
I have a column titled "Due Date" that tells me when a specific action item will be completed by.
I want to calculate a "Phase" column that returns which Phase of a project that item falls under based on the date.
If the date is 6/30/2020 or earlier, I want the Phase column to say, "Phase 1".
If the date is between 6/30/2020 and 9/30/2020, I want the Phase column to say, "Phase 2".
If the date is between 10/1/20 and 12/31/20, I want the Phase column to say , "Phase 3".
If the date falls after 12/31/20, I want the Phase column to say, "N/A" or something similar.
tmitton - Seems like:
Phase = SWITCH(TRUE(), [Date] <= DATE(2020,6,30),"Phase 1", [Date] > DATE(2020,6,30) && [Date] <= DATE(2020,9,30),"Phase 2", [Date] > DATE(2020,10,1) && [Date] <= DATE(2020,12,31),"Phase 3", "N/A" )

It had me remove one of the double "&" keys, and then told me that "SWTICH" is not recognized.
Thanks again for any guidance you can provide.

You are supposed to use Greg_Deckler 's solution as a new column in your table in the Power BI Data Model. not in Power Query.
