Nested IF statement in custom column

I'm relatively new to PowerBI and having a little trouble wih the syntax for transposing a nested IF statement from Excel. 

 

My Excel formula reads:

=IF(H2="NULL", "None" , IF(H2>B2,"Late", IF((I2<-7), "Early", "Good" )))

 

Trying to follow logic from previous posts, but seeminly always coming up with a syntax error.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous 

 

You should provide some sample data in a format which people can copy, otherwise we are doing with our imagination...not sure if you want to add a custom column  in M or DAX, modify the Table name and Column name accordingly

here is M - Power Query Custom Column, you click Add Column -> Custom Column in GUI

if [H] = null then "None"
else if [H]>[B] then "Late"
else if [I] <-7 then "Early"
else "Good"

here is DAX Calculated column

Column = IF(ISBLANK([H]),"None",
IF([H]>[B],"Late",IF([I]<-7,"Early","Good")))

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please have a try.

Create a measure.

 

Measure = var null_ = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[H2])=BLANK(),"None",IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[H2])>SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[B2]),"late",IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[I2])<-7,"Early","Good")))
return null_
