Need help

[ariamwengel]

I am trying to create a custom coloumn based on the formula below (forgive me a newbee here) but i am getting the literal error. what am i doing wrong?

SWITCH(TRUE(), [Due Date]<TODAY() && [status] <> "Completed", "Stalled", [due date] >= TODAY() && [due date] <= TODAY()+1 && [status] <> "Completed", "At Risk", "On Track")

any help would be appreciated.

Hi @ariamwengel ,

M code(Note "if", "then", "else if", "and" are lowercase.):

=if [Due Date]<DateTime.LocalNow() and[STATUS] <> "Completed" then "Stalled" else if [due date] >= DateTime.LocalNow() and [due date] <= DateTime.LocalNow()+1 and [status] <> "Completed" then "At Risk" else "On Track"

Best Regards,

@ariamwengel Seems like you are trying to use DAX in Power Query. Power Query uses "M" code, not DAX. So, try creating that column as a DAX column in Desktop instead of in Power Query Editor.

Hi Greg, Would it be possible to write an if statement based on the formula? Like i said forgive me😊

Thanks Greg. I will do that.
