Labelling Expired, Soon to Expire and Valid from End Date column

Hi,

 

I just started learning DAX- not sure if this should be done in DAX or Power Query. But what I'm trying to do is have a column that is automated to output "Expired", "Soon to Expire" and "Valid" depending on the "End Date" column. 

 

The "End Date" column feeds from our internal server. The output labelled "Soon to Expire" when the "End Date" is within 3 months from today.

Please advise how to get this.

 

Thanks!

Hi @sarah8991 , Please check if the datatype of End Date column is a String or Date. If it is String then convert it into Date.
Also, Try this:
Result = if(day([enddate]) > Today(), "Expired", if(day([end date])+90 < Today(),"Valid", "Soon to expire"))

Hi,

 

Thank you! I changed it to Date and tried your suggestion, but now it can't seem to locate the "End Date" colum:

Do you know why this is happening? 

 

Thanks!

Hi @sarah8991 ,

Try this:

Result = if(day('tablename'[enddate]) > Today(), "Expired", if(day('tablename'[end date])+90 < Today(),"Valid", "Soon to expire"))

I changed it a bit and it works now, thank you 🙂

"End Date" is just a string. You can't use DAY on a string.

When writing an IF statement, I always advise to start with a simple comparison and get that to work, so just try getting one part to work.

here's some examples: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/if-function-dax?WT.mc_id=DP-MVP-4025372#examples
