Power query - if function with dates
I have table with two columns with dates Release date and closed date.
I want to create custom column, but I don't know how i should create formula.
Basically I need 3 category
1) if relase date is before 1.1.2020 then "1)
2) if release date is after 31/12/2019 and before 1/1/2020 then "2"
3) if closed date is before 1/1/2021 then "3"
How formula should look like?
Hi Anonymous ,
You can add custom column with the formula as shown in below screenshot, later please adjust the conditions base on your scenario..
=if [Release date] < #date(2020, 1, 1) then 1 else if [Release date] > #date(2019, 12, 31) and [Release date] < #date(2021, 1, 1) then 2 else if [closed date] < #date(2021, 1, 1) then 3 else 0Best Regards

Hi Anonymous ,
Create a custom column in Power Query level and write this code..
Custom Column = if [Release date] < #date(2020, 01, 01) then "1" else if [Release date] > #date( 2019, 12, 31) and [Release date] < #date( 2020, 01, 01) then "2" else if [closed date] < #date (2021, 01, 01) then "3" else "0"
You can use this formula in a custom column in the query editor
= if [release date] < #date(2020,1,1) then "1" else if ([release date] > #date(2019,12,31) and [release date] < #date(2020,1,1)) then "2" else if [closed date] < #date(2021,1,1) then "3" else "other"
Note your #2 condition seems off, so you can adjust as needed.
