    && works but the message i have is "DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type Text with values of type Date. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values."

     

    I am unable to use the new column for any visualization.

     

    Best,

Can you share sample data for all these columns?

So basically, a dax formula that will create a new column by flagging a project either overdue or not overdue. Secondly, another dax formula that will create a new column a that will flag a past due project whose project status doesn't show  "completed" or "cancelled", we can flag such projects as "past due - check"

    Can you check whether the below code works or not?
    Due status:

     

    Due Status= if([end]<=today(),"Overdue", "Not Overdue")

     

    Past Due check:

     

    PastDueCheck = if([Due status]= "Overdue" and([Project Status]<> "Completed" or [Project Status]<> "Cancelled", "Past Due-Check")

     

     
    Or you can do both in a single column.

     

    PastDueCheck= if([end]<=today() and ([Project Status]<> "Completed" or [Project Status]<> "Cancelled", "Past Due-Check")

      Sure, I will try this. Do I need to format this new column as text?

        My Bad here is the single column code updated

         

        PastDueCheck= if([end]<=today() and ([Project Status]<> "Completed" or [Project Status]<> "Cancelled"), "Past Due-Check")

        Use the above code and confirm,
