Thanks for replying, to be very clear so there is a column which is being fetched fromoracle database which contains date values in it as in format of 01-MAY-22 , so dax or custom column has to check each value in the column and has to create a new column where if its  today(01-JUL-22) as today similar way today-7 as "last week" etc attaching oracle query which has to be converted to dax or custom column 

(ex : 

WHEN TO_CHAR(H03_DATE_017,'YYYYMMDD') = TO_CHAR(SYSDATE-1,'YYYYMMDD') THEN 'Yesterday'

WHEN TO_CHAR(H03_DATE_017,'YYYYMMDD') = TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYYMMDD') THEN 'Today')

Hi, @Anonymous ,

You could add a column by dax:

Column = IF([Date]=TODAY()-1,"Yesterday",IF([Date]=TODAY()+1,"Tomorrow",IF([Date]=TODAY(),"Today",FORMAT([Date],"YYYYMMDD"))))

The final show:

@Anonymous , Not very clear, You can have column like

 

Date Type =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
'Date'[Date] = TODAY(), "Today",
'Date'[Date] = TODAY() -1 , "Yesterday",
'Date'[Date] = TODAY() +1 , "Tomorrow",
[Date]& "")

@Anonymous , you should change the data type to date and the code I have given should work

 

Or you can create a new date column

 

date 1=  datevalues([Date])

 

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
