Hello,

I have the folllowing table and i am trying to add a calculated column with output based on:

1. If Start date <= End date, output: Valid dates

3. If Start date and/or End date missing, output: Missing date/s

Any help is much appreciated!

@Jihwan_Kim Thank you for your reply! I am trying to add a Card visualization to show the total number of Invalid dates and Missing dates. I tried to use the calculated column directly but i am not sure how to filter and show the Invalid and Missing dates only. Any idea how to do this?

Count invalid or missing: =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( Data ),
    Data[Status CC] IN { "Invalid dates", "Missing dates" }
)
