Date Function

I am trying to write and IF/THEN statement in query that looks at today's date.

If the date of the appointment is before today, then "n", otherwise if the appointment date is today or onwards then "y". 

 

if [apptdate] < Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) then Date.From (DateTime.LocalNow ()) else [apptdate]

 

I also want this to update as the dates changes.

Let me know, if this helps!
