Creating an entry based upon a date compared to today

I have a status collumn that populates based upon a date column.  It works great except for the highlighted portion.  What I need to happen if the Approved Date field is blank and today is later than...

    It would be helpful next time (or if this doesn't work) to include some sample data to work with.

    The order matters with these statements, so try this instead.

    Status Approval =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
ISBLANK ('Execution Status'[Approved Date].[Date])
&& ('Execution Status'[Due Date].[Date]) < TODAY (), "Overdue",
ISBLANK ( 'Execution Status'[Approved Date].[Date] ), "In Process",
'Execution Status'[Approved Date].[Date] < 'Execution Status' [Due Date].[Date], "On Time",
"Completed Late"
)

If I understand you correctly, maybe something like this...

Status Approval =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    ISBLANK ( '[Approved Date].[Date]' )
        && '[Due Due].[Date]'
            > TODAY (), "Overdue",
    '[Approved Date].[Date]' > '[Due Date].[Date]', "Late",
    ISBLANK ( '[Approved Date].[Date]' ), "In Process",
    "On Time"
)

PowerBI doesn't like that

    Try removing the single quotes maybe?

      Had to do that and add the table name.  Not throwing an error anymore, but still not populating the field correctly.

       

      Overdue seems to be working correctly, but the filed is populating with On Time when the Approved date field is blank.  That should be "In Process". The "Completed late" calcuation appears to be correct as well.

       

      Status Approval =
      SWITCH (
      TRUE (),
      ISBLANK ('Execution Status'[Approved Date].[Date])
      && ('Execution Status'[Due Date].[Date]) < TODAY (), "Overdue",
      'Execution Status'[Approved Date].[Date] < 'Execution Status' [Due Date].[Date], "On Time",
      ISBLANK ( 'Execution Status'[Approved Date].[Date] ), "In Process","Completed Late"
      )
