Power BI Project Management

how do I write dax formula to show all projects where End date is past due and “Project Status” doesn’t show “Complete” or “Cancelled”

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

&& 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.

Code was correct.I had to go to transform data and change  [End] to a date format.

The dataset name is Bio Demand, just in case you will need it for the DAX

 

Thanks,

@Ykankam , Try a measure like

 

Countrows(filter( Table, Not(isblank(Table[end date])) && [End Date] <= today() && not Table[Project Status] in {"Complete","Cancelled"}))

Do I format this a text? Because when I select this measure, it is unable to display on any visual

@Ykankam 
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")

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,

Same error.

 

Apologied, 
Can you use && instead of and 
|| instead of OR

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


And try this code.
