Hi,
I have two date columns and I am trying to create a calculated column depending on the combination of these two colums. Is there anyway to create them as a nested statement, that returns a text value, so that it can be used as a slicer with all the variable options?
ie IF Date1 & Date 2 is value then "Complete" is returned.
IF Date1 has a value & Date2 is blank then "Date2 missing" is returned etc.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Like this?
CalcCol =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
ISBLANK ( Table1[Date1] ) && ISBLANK ( Table1[Date2] ), "Both dates missing",
ISBLANK ( Table1[Date1] ), "Date1 missing",
ISBLANK ( Table1[Date2] ), "Date2 missing",
"Complete"
)
Thank you, I wasn't aware of SWITCH command. This has helped greatly.
