Custom Column Help!

I have a column "Visit Date" and I need to create a custom column which will determine the following.

 

When Visit Date is Blank - then "Not Scheduled"

When Visit Date is less than today - then "Completed"

When visit date is greater than today - then "Scheduled"

 

I tried this, but I'm getting errors.

if [[Visit Date] <= DateTime.LocalNow() and [Visit Date]<> Null then "Completed",
else if [[Visit Date]> DateTime.LocalNow then "Scheduled",
else if [Visit Date]=Null then "Not Scheduled"

 

Anyone be able to assist in correcting my error?

 

thanks.

Don't know if null should be case sensitive or not, but I'd put seeing if it's null as the first stage of your logic, something like:

 

if [Visit Date] = null then "Not Scheduled" else if [Visit Date] > Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) then "Scheduled" else "Completed"
