    Hi.， jtomczyk ；

    Because your [Date] column is in Date format and date.adddays (datetime.localnow (), -30) returns Date/Time format, the two formats are not comparable in power Query, so you cannot use <;

    so we could change the Date column to Date/Time format . then compare them.

    = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Custom", each if [Date]<Date.AddDays(DateTime.LocalNow(),-30) then "Wrong" else "Correct")

    Or change the other column to Date format.
