    Hi H_insight ,

     

    Try this:

     

    if [Date] >= Date.AddMonths(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()), -3)
      and [Active / Not] = "Y"
      and [User/Consumer] = "N"
    then 1
    else 0

     

    This uses three rolling months i.e. today it will give you 2021-08-08 to 2021-11-08.

     

    If you want it to evaluate against the last three complete months i.e. not including current month, then it would be:

     

    if Date.IsInPreviousNMonths([Date], 3)
      and [Active / Not] = "Y"
      and [User/Consumer] = "N"
    then 1
    else 0
