Hi @Anonymous 

 

You can add a new column with below code

New Column = 
IF (
    'DataTable'[assignment date] = DATE ( 2022, 9, 19 ),
    "Existing emp Initial launch",
    IF (
        'DataTable'[assignment date] > DATE ( 2022, 9, 19 ),
        "Role change",
        IF ( 'DataTable'[assignment date] <= 'DataTable'[hire date], "New Hire" )
    )
)
