Hi,
I have below if function where CY is equals to 12/31/2021 it should return Last Year. However formula returns 0. Anyone can help with what's causing this error?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @dokat ,
Try the calculated column
Column = IF([CY]=DATE(2021,12,31),"Last Year","0")
Calculated columns and measures are different, please note.
What is the difference between Power BI calculated columns and measures? - TrueCue.

Hi @dokat
Can you try:
Measure = IF ( Table[Column] = DATE ( 2021, 12, 31 ) , 1 , 0 )
Hope it helps.
Theo

@TheoC Unfortunately it didnt work. And i'd like to make the lookup value to be dynamic rather than hard coded as it will change over time. '
Where formula equals to = 'Tier'{CY] (12/31/2021) Thanks
