Hi team,
I have a table (Master Session Tracker) where i have coloumn Event Date, i want to create a new coloumn
wherein
if my coloumn event date is all previous months show me that as "YTD"
and if my coloumn event date is current month show me that as "MMM"-YYYY" for example Jun-2019
and if my coloumn event date is blank show me that as " Upcoming"
Date(Year([Event Date]),Month([Event Date]),1)
This is calculating the first day of the month of the EventDate in date format. For example, if the EventDate is 12-Jun-2019, then this formula is converting it to 1-Jun-2019
Date(Year(Today()),Month(Today()),1)
This formula is checking today's date and then calculating the first day of the month (same as logic above)
So essentially I am first converting the EventDate and Today's date to first of the month and then applied the condition you had mentioned.
FORMAT([Event Date],"MMM-YYYY"
This formula is converting the date into the required format.
Hope this answers your query.
Thanks,
Vivek

Hi,
Please try this:
(This is considering that you are comparing the EventDate with current date, as it is not clear from your orignal query)
Column = If( [EventDate] = Blank(),"Upcoming",If(Date(Year([EventDate]),Month([EventDate]),1) < Date(Year(Today()),Month(Today()),1), "YTD",If(Date(Year([EventDate]),Month([EventDate]),1) = Date(Year(Today()),Month(Today()),1),FORMAT(Table1[EventDate],"MMM-YYYY"))))Thanks,VivekIf this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.This is perfect & great, can you also explain me the working of below 2 conditions you have used?
