    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    You can try to solve this problem with calculated columns.

    Column =
    IF (
        [Vulnerability_Test_Date] - [Vulnerability_Published_Date] >= 35
            && [Severity] = "Critical",
        "Yes",
        IF (
            [Vulnerability_Test_Date] - [Vulnerability_Published_Date] >= 65
                && [Severity] = "High",
            "Yes",
            IF (
                [Vulnerability_Test_Date] - [Vulnerability_Published_Date] >= 95
                    && [Severity] = "Medium",
                "Yes",
                "No"
            )
        )
    )
    

     

    If you try to solve it in Power query custom column, you need to do type conversion.

    if (Number.From([Vulnerability_Test_Date] - [Vulnerability_Published_Date]) >=35) and [Severity] = "Critical" then "Yes" else
    if (Number.From([Vulnerability_Test_Date] - [Vulnerability_Published_Date])>=65) and [Severity] = "High" then "Yes" else if
    (Number.From([Vulnerability_Test_Date] - [Vulnerability_Published_Date])>=95) and [Severity] = "Medium" then "Yes" else "No"

     

    This is the relevant document, hope to help you:
