Hello,
I'm struggling with DAX. I am trying to create a calculated column that count rows in a table where the date is either blank OR within the past 2 calendar months based on today's date. How would I write out the DAX for this? The main part I am struggling with is if the date is within the current month or previous month.
| ID | Date | Cal. Column |
| 1 | 1 | |
| 2 | 4/15/2021 | |
| 3 | 3/20/2020 | |
| 4 | 5/3/2021 | 1 |
| 5 | 6/2/2021 | 1 |
| 6 | 4/28/2021 |
Thank you -

@lilych - Ah! I see what you mean. You can do as an IF:
Column =
IF (
AND (
MONTH ( TableName[Date] )
> ( MONTH ( TODAY () ) - 2 ),
YEAR ( TableName[Date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
)
|| ISBLANK ( TableName[Date] ),
1,
BLANK ()
)
or you can do as SWITCH:
SWITCHColumn =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
ISBLANK ( TableName[Date] ), 1,
AND (
MONTH ( TableName[Date] )
> ( MONTH ( TODAY () ) - 2 ),
YEAR ( TableName[Date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
), 1,
BLANK ()
)

@lilych - Try:
Column =
IF(
MONTH(TableName[Date]) > (MONTH(TODAY()) - 2)
|| ISBLANK(TableName[Date]),
1,
BLANK()
)

Thanks @ChrisMendoza! It works for dates in this year where it excludes rows from Jan-April 2021, however in my file, it seems to be including rows where the date is in 2020. How can I exclude that?
