Hi @Anonymous ,

You can create a calculated column in the table using below formula. As in your case, time is also available in the value hence we need to get date from timestamp field and need to compare.

Status = IF(FORMAT('Table (2)'[Column1], "dd/MM/YYYY")=FORMAT(TODAY(), "DD/MM/YYYY"), "Today", IF(FORMAT('Table (2)'[Column1], "dd/MM/YYYY")=FORMAT(TODAY()-1, "DD/MM/YYYY"),"Yesterday", IF(FORMAT('Table (2)'[Column1], "dd/MM/YYYY")=FORMAT(TODAY()+1, "DD/MM/YYYY"), "Tomorrow", "")))

This will show the status you given in the sample.

If you are good with the solution, please mark this as answer.

Thanks,

Sunil

i did .

but result only blank . i see there are data for today transaction but same result as blank .

This is because your date column includes time frame. With your formula I have resulted the same blank for NOW() function, but works for Today() or created date column. So I think you would need to recreated your date column.

Well, I guess change the display format will not change essence of the value. You need to use Format function like @Anonymous did. 

I recommend you create a new date column to format your date and remove the timestamps:

FORMAT('Table'[Date],"YYYY/MM/DD")

And then stick with your IF formula.

created new column , used that column as trigger of day status

[Anonymous]

I changed the date format to dd/MM/yyyy the applied the below formula. It worked for me...:)

Status = IF(FORMAT('Table (3)'[Date],"DD/MM/YYYY")=FORMAT(TODAY(), "DD/MM/YYYY"), "Today", IF(FORMAT('Table (3)'[Date],"DD/MM/YYYY")=FORMAT(TODAY()-1, "DD/MM/YYYY"),"Yesterday", IF(FORMAT('Table (3)'[Date],"DD/MM/YYYY")=FORMAT(TODAY()+1, "DD/MM/YYYY"), "Tomorrow", "")))
