Calculated column to compare String & Date

[New_be]

Hi everyone,

Refer to the subject, i have one question on how to make a condition for date that based on day. 
For example in this case, i have a days column & a date_off column seperately. Days column in text type while date_off column is a date type.

I want to make a condition like, return date_off if days <> "Friday". This column will return date_off for every days except from "Friday". Thanks in advance

Hi @New_be ,

Try this calculated column

column = IF(Days <> "Friday",DAY_OFF,BLANK())

@New_be , Try like

Weekday =WeekDay Name = FORMAT([Date],"dddd")

if(Weekday = WEEKDAY([Date],2) =5, "DAY_OFF",Blank())

if([Weekday] ="Friday", "DAY_OFF",Blank())

Any Weekday Week

Hi @New_be ,

I think you can create a calculated column using the below DAX:

column = if(Days = "Friday",DAY_OFF,BLANK())

Please try.
