Are your dates stored as dates in power query?

If not add or replace your current date column as Date.FromText(<date column>, "dd/mm/yyyy")

 

Your Dax measure perhaps wont work if you are mixing string with dates.

 

Try

if('Activities'[Activity Name] = "Project Brief Accepted", 'Activities'[Finish Date], BLANK())
