If statement for a calculated column
Hi,
I have a column added into my table which is using a datediff that says how many days between 2 dates ,
Age =datediff('Table1'[Date A],'Table 1'[Date 2],DAY)
However I am trying to create something that will say If the above Age column is over 7 days then use 7 (to sort of set 7 as a max value) and if the age is under 7 continue to use the original column, but nothing seems to be working!
As the datediff has been created in the table and doesn't appear in the advanced editor I can't do it as a conditional column.
One of the conditional columns I have used column doing something similar has something that would translate like this
Test =IF [#"Age"] > 7.001,then "7" else [#"Age"])
But that didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi Anonymous
if you use DAX calculated column your new column will look like
Test = MIN([Age], 7)you also can use this technique
Age = var _dd = datediff('Table1'[Date A],'Table 1'[Date 2],DAY) RETURN IF(_dd < 7, 7, _dd)

Try
Age =
var _1 = datediff('Table1'[Date A],'Table 1'[Date 2],DAY)
return
if(_1>7,7,_1)
