How to create calculated column for due dates due within next 7 days

[Anonymous]

Good Morning Power Bi Users! 

I would like to create a visual for my metric showing all items that are due within next 7 days.

As per below it looks like you cannot add an expression into the value.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous ,

The first issue is that TODAY() is a DAX function but Power Query uses the M language.

In Power Query, go to the Add Column tab > Custom Column and paste in this code:

let __todayDate = Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) in
if [Due Date] >= __todayDate and [Due Date] <= Date.AddDays(__todayDate, 7) then "Due within 7 days"
else "Not due within 7 days"

I missed a space in the second [Due Date].

I've updated my original answer to correct. Please try now.
