    Thanks everyone for trying to help. I have just got it to work using the following:

    Expiry Status =
    SWITCH (TRUE(),
    'MyTable'[DaystoExpiry] =BLANK(), "No Exp. date",
    'MyTable'[DaystoExpiry] < 0, "Expired",
    'MyTable'[DaystoExpiry] < 366, "Less than 1yr",
    'MyTable'[DaystoExpiry] > 365, "More than 1yr"
    )
     
    I think the issue was the order of my logic, together with using "" when I should have been using BLANK().
     
    Got there in the end with your combined help 🙂

Sure:
 
Expiry Status =
VAR NoofDays = SUM('MyTable'[DaystoExpiry])
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE() ,
NoofDays = 0, "No Exp. date",
NoofDays < 0, "Expired",
NoofDays > 366, "Exp. date > 1 yr",
"Exp. date <= 1 yr"
)

Hi Philippa,

 

Please check data type of 'MyTable'[DaystoExpiry] column.

If it is not in number format change it to number.

 

Thanks
