Hi clever people,
I need to transfere this simple excel formula into a custom column in Powerquery in Powerbi .
(J cell is Departure Date, I cell is Cover Start Date,BG cell is Month of Earning)
=IFERROR(IF(J470460<BG470460,0.2,SUM(0.2+SUM(BG470460-J470460)/SUM(J470460-I470460)*0.2)),0)
Can someone please tell me how I type this - I have got this far so far but am stuck at the SUM part....
Solved! Go to Solution.
So IF statements are written slightly different "if" "then" "else" and you dont need to define a SUM like you do in Excel so try this...
if ([Departure Date] < [Month of Earning] then 0.2 else ([Month of Earning] - [Departure Date]) / ([Departure Date] - [Cover Start])
Let me know if that works for you.
Thanks,
Thank you
