Conditional Column date and multiple criteria

Hi

 

I would like to create a Conditional Column called Status in Power Query and wondered if someone could help with the code for the following please as I am unsure of how to do it:

If the Due Date is less than Today and the [Milestone/Description] field is Blank or “Not Started” then input “Red”

Or

If the Due Date is within 4 weeks and the [Milestone/Description] field is Blank or “Not Started” then input “Amber”

Or

If the Due Date is greater than Today and the [Milestone/Description] field is Blank or “Not Started” or “In Progress” or “Complete” then input “Green”

Hi @spandy34 

I am confused that

1.the 4 weeks means due date>today and due date < future 4 weeks or due date>pre 4 weeks and due date < today?

2.Based on the first question, if the 4 weeks means ddue date>pre 4 weeks and due date < today, then should the firse condition be Due Date<pre 4 weeks instead of today?

Based on my understanding, i create the following conditions:

a. Due date<pre 4 weeks

b.due date>=pre 4 weeks and due date < today

c.dure date>=today

 

let 
_today=DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),
_4weeks=Date.AddWeeks(_today,-4),
_condition=
if [Due Date]<_4weeks and ([#"Milestone/Description"]="" or [#"Milestone/Description"]="Not Started") then "Red" else if [Due Date]<_today  and [Due Date]>=_4weeks and ([#"Milestone/Description"]="" or [#"Milestone/Description"]="Not Started") then "Amber"  else if  [Due Date] >=_today and ([#"Milestone/Description"]="" or [#"Milestone/Description"]="Not Started" or [#"Milestone/Description"]="In Progress" or [#"Milestone/Description"]="Complete") then "Green" else null
in _condition
