Error * If statement for date

Hi, 

I would like to create If Statement in my 2 Date Columns. 

It works well in excel, but in Power Bi, it gives me the error warning. 

What should I change to make it work?

Hope to hear from you. 

Thanks

I believe that PBI is seeing "" as a string, even though it is empty. Try using:

IF(ISBLANK('Table'[Field]), "if true", "if false")

hi, @Anonymous 

In power bi, just try this formula

 

IF(Deals[Deal·Deal closed on].[Date]=BLANK(),"Open",IF(Deals[Deal·Won time].[Date]=BLANK(),"Lost","Won"))

or

 IF(ISBLANK(Deals[Deal·Deal closed on].[Date]),"Open",IF(ISBLANK(Deals[Deal·Won time].[Date]),"Lost","Won"))

Best Regards,

Lin
