Help with power query

Hello

 

I would like to identify if a date falls within DST (daylight saving) or not.

 

This works fine in excel

 

IF(AND(SysDate[SysDate]>=DATE(YEAR(SysDate[SysDate]),3,1)+14-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(SysDate[SysDate]),3,1)-1), SysDate[SysDate] < DATE(YEAR(SysDate[SysDate]),11,1)+7-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(SysDate[SysDate]),11,1)-1)),"DST","No")

 

Can anyone please help me to write this in power query

 

I know that the commas need to go and I need to put then and els

 

But I think I cannot use the syntax I am using to return the date for the second sunday in march and 1st sunday in november

 

Regards

Swati

It doesn't have to use Power Query, in DAX, the formula is the same. Any reason why not using DAX?

dstDayOrNot = IF(
    AND(
        SysDate[SysDate] >=
        DATE(
            YEAR(
                SysDate[SysDate]
            ),
            3,
            1
        ) + 14 -
        WEEKDAY(
            DATE(
                YEAR(
                    SysDate[SysDate]
                ),
                3,
                1
            ) - 1
        ),
        SysDate[SysDate] <
        DATE(
            YEAR(
                SysDate[SysDate]
            ),
            11,
            1
        ) + 7 -
        WEEKDAY(
            DATE(
                YEAR(
                    SysDate[SysDate]
                ),
                11,
