If & Today operators
I am attempting to run a query so a new column will populate as TRUE if two statuses from one column are correct and the date is before the current date.
ie. I have:
A database where each contact can match one of the following items and has association with a date.
Column A:
Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3 | Item 4 | Item 5
Column B:
A list of dates
I want to say IF Column A = Item 1 or Item 2 AND Column B date is before TODAY. Then Equal to True, if not equal to false.
This worked however not all the parenthesis were needed:
IF(Table1[COLUMNA] = "ITEM-1" || [Direction] = "ITEM-2" || && Table1[COLUMNB] < TODAY() ,TRUE(), FALSE())
Thanks!

andrewb95 , Are these columns or table. If tables what is relation. Can share some sample data and explain with example

It was all from columns within the same table, many thanks for attempting to support.
