Conditional Column

Hello,

 

Checking to see if I can create a condtional column that applies to a certain date. For instance I need a column to only apply to 2021 but not 2020. 

 

So I would create a column that says If x = y than 1 otherwise 0. I need this to apply only to 2021 data but not for 2020. Could i create something that leaves 2020 Null?

New Column CC =
IF (
'Table'[Year] = 2021,
SWITCH ( TRUE (), 'Table'[x] = 'Table'[y], 1, 0 ),
BLANK ()
)

You could do a custom column with a function like this

 

= if [Year] = 2021 then 1 else null

 

or, if it's a Date column

 

= if Date.Year([Date]) = 2021 then 1 else null
