Custom Column with If condition

Hi,

In Power Query, I've the table "InterimForEarliestDateCalculation(2)" which contains fields :

  • "earliestStartDateCorrected" Date field
  • "earliestStartDateCorrectedv2" Date field

I'd like to add a custom column (Text): "ErrorInMilestonesDates" which would comply with :

= "Correct" if "earliestStartDateCorrected" = "earliestStartDateCorrectedv2"

= "Incorrect" if "earliestStartDateCorrected" <> "earliestStartDateCorrectedv2"

 

Could someone help me with the code?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Fab

Hi @Fab117 ,

 

try like:

if [earliestStartDateCorrected] = [earliestStartDateCorrectedv2] then "Correct" else "Incorrect"

Hi @Fab117 ,

 

try like:

if [earliestStartDateCorrected] = [earliestStartDateCorrectedv2] then "Correct" else "Incorrect"

This works perfectly.

 

Big thanks.
