Hi gco 

Doing this in Power Query is more efficient. Matches your post.

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "CurrentDate", each if Date.Month([#"Dates                 IsCurrentorPastMonth?.1"]) <= Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow()) then "Y" else "N")

    That is pretty quick.  I am pretty noob. can you please tell me how to do this?  i am used to right-clicking an existing table and then entering the DAX.
