Help with Column based on dates.

Hi! I hope someone can help me with this>

 

I have two columns: Completion Date and Due Date. I want to add a third column that:

If Completion Date is not empty, then New Column = "Completed". But if Completion Date is empty, I'd like New Column = "On time" or "Past Due" based on Due Date column. 

 

Hope my question makes sense.

 

Thank you!

Hi, @EduardoC 

please try something like the below.

the formula is for creating a new column.

New Column CC =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
'Table'[Completion Date] <> BLANK (), "Cmpleted",
'Table'[Due Date] >= TODAY (), "On time",
'Table'[Due Date] < TODAY (), "past due"
)

Thank you, Jihwan Kim!

 

This is exactly what I was looking for. Never thought of the SWITCH option. I really appreciate it. 

 

Eduardo.
