Custom column to return "Expired" value if date within a different column is older than six months

I'm trying to create a custom column that will check the date qwithin an existing column named Last Updated and determine if the date is six months older than the current date. If it is I want to return a value of Expired, if not thana value of Compliant.

 

I have tried the below:

if [#"Last Updated:"] = 6 < DateTimeZone.LocalNow then "Expired" else "Compliant")

Apologies, I wasn't looking at the power query side of things

 

try this:

 

if [Last Updated] < Date.From(Date.AddMonths(DateTime.LocalNow(), -6)) then "Expired" else "Compliant"

You could try this:

 

= if [Last Updated] < DATEADD(DateTimeZone.LocalNow(), -6, MONTH) then "Expired" else "Compliant"
