Ok, not technically Power BI (at this stage) as I need to do some data work in Excel before moving it into PowerBI but i'm trying to create a custom column in PowerQuery that has a formula along the lines of
if [company] = "CompanyA" and [date opened] < "01/01/2017" then "Pre 2017" else "2017"
But I am getting an error "We cannot apply operator < to types Text and Date"
Appreciate this is probably really simple, and if in excel I could use DATE(), but I am new to PowerQuery and the syntax.
How do I get this to work correctly please?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Replace "01/01/2017" by: #date(2017,1,1)
Replace "01/01/2017" by: #date(2017,1,1)
THANK YOU!!!
Easy when you know how 🙂 had tried date(2017,1,1) didn't know about the need to add a #.
Thanks again.
Andy.
