    I think I know what is going on, your table name need to be in single quote because its name is DAte, try following

     

    Date = 
IF (
AND (
'Date'[Date1] >= DATE ( 2015, 4, 1 ),
'Date'[Date1] <= DATE ( 2016, 3, 31 )
),
"FY15", "")

        Anonymous aha, you are adding date column which is new column and you are referring the same column in your DAX expression and that's the issue, replace Date with Date1 which I believe already exists in your table

         

        Date = 
IF (
AND (
Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2015, 4, 1 ),
Date[Date1] <= DATE ( 2016, 3, 31 )
),
"FY15",
IF (
AND (
Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2016, 4, 1 ),
Date[Date1] <= DATE ( 2017, 3, 31 )
),
"FY16",
IF (
AND (
Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2017, 4, 1 ),

Date[Date1] <= DATE ( 2018, 3, 31 )
),
"FY17",
IF (
AND (
Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2018, 4, 1 ),
Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2019, 3, 31 )
),
"FY18",
0
)
)
))
