today as dynamic within conditional column

Is there a way within conditional column to set "todays" date so it's dynamic, so today it would show 1/29, ttomorrow 1/30, etc.  Otherwise is there a way to do this same within power Query?

Hi @jcastr02,

 

You need to add a date so that is filter and then edit the syntax on the formula bar:

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if [Date] <= Date.From (DateTime.FixedLocalNow()) then "Active" else if [Date] >=  Date.From (DateTime.FixedLocalNow()) then "Future" else null)
