Hi Anonymous
If you're adding this as a calculated column, you don't need all of the MAX functions. They are essentially calculating the max value for that entire column - not what you're after!
I always favour the SWITCH function rather than nested IF statements as I find it easier to read.
Try adding a calculated column with the expression below:
APPTCTGY = SWITCH( TRUE(), ISBLANK( FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] ), "EARLY", FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] < FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_START_DATE ], "EARLY", FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] > FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_END_DATE], "LATE", FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] >= FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_START_DATE] && FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] <= MAX(FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_END_DATE] ), "IN TARGET" )Best regards,

could you please share sample dataset and expected output.
Why there are to many "AND" in your formula?
Thanks,
