    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

     

    Output
