Calendar question

[gco]

Hi there,

I have a date column that shows dates for current year (01/01/2019-12/31/2019).  And i would like to create a calculated column called "IsCurrentorPastMonth?" and will have a value of Y or N.  Would anyone know what the calculated column would look like?

Sample:

Dates                 IsCurrentorPastMonth?

01/02/2019         Y

07/02/2019         Y

10/01/2019         Y

11/03/2019        N

12/02/2019        N

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Glen

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")

Just tried it with 10/31 and it works.  Good point.

hey @Nathaniel_C ,

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.

@Nathaniel_C

Hi Nathaniel,

yes, it will be for current month.  So like 10/31 would be Y

Thank you
