Hi,
I am looking for help to run this code:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns2", "Custom", each if [#"Who is your Teacher?"] = "Sister Paulette Kirkham" and [Start Date] < 9/16/2020 then "Greg Hazard" else [#"Who is your Teacher?"])
The one condition is a text format and the other is date format which is why I believe it is not working.
Looking forward to learning.
Thanks in advance.
Nate.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Natedekock you have to type dates using the #date() function, so the below should work. You were comparing a date to 9 divided by 16 divided by 2020. It is jus like Excel's DATE() function, but it is #date() and is case sensitive.
= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns2", "Custom", each if [#"Who is your Teacher?"] = "Sister Paulette Kirkham" and [Start Date] < #date(2020,9,16) then "Greg Hazard" else [#"Who is your Teacher?"])
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling
