If Value is Less than another value
I created a table that looks like this:
| Decision Point | Target Date | Actual Date |
| A | 11/1/2019 | 2/3/2019 |
| B | 2/4/2019 | 4/25/2019 |
| C | 4/15/2020 | 4/27/2020 |
| D |
I would like to create a column with a traffic light indicator that shows if the Decision Point is on plan. However, based on what I had to do to create the table, I'm stuck as to how to do that. The data looks like this, because I had to unpivot it to get it to show in the table I wanted to:
Is there an easy way to create the "if Actual Date for Decision Point A is > Target Date for Decision Point A then Red" logic that I want to create?
Hi Anonymous ,
We can create three measures to meet your requirement.
1. Create actual date and target date measures.
Actual date = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[value]),'Table'[Target vs Actual]="Actual")Target date = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[value]),'Table'[Target vs Actual]="Target")2. Then we can create an icon measure.
Measure = IF([Actual date]>[Target date],1,0)If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

You can download the file: HERE
Flag = IF( HASONEVALUE('Table'[Decision Point]), IF( SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Actual Date]) > SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Target Date] ) , "🔴" , "🟢" ) )________________________

I couldn't get this to work because I don't have a column that is "Target Date" or "Actual Date", I have a column that is "Target or Actual". Is there a way for me to extract those?
Also, I couldn't open the PBIX file because it was the wrong version and I can't download a new one without IT support sorry!

You can pivot these columns in power query
