If statement for a calculated column

[Anonymous]

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

@Anonymous , for one, is DAX, the second one is M?

Try

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

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)

The first one seems to have worked perfectly, thank you.
