    You have to ask first for null in order to avoid the comparison between null and dates.

    if [DueDate] = null then 0 else
if [DueDate] <= Date.AddDays
(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()), -2) and [ShortListCount] = 0 then 1
else 0

    Be carefull with quotes. If you type "1" the result will be a text 1 and not a number.

Ok, it shows error when duedate is null. That's logic :) But is it a way to handle that? show 0 if duedate is null

Hi, sure you can add and if [duedate] = null then ......... else [start the other condition]

 

You can decide if you want a value for this cases like 0 or 1 and add it there.
