Replace future dates by today date

[NumeroENAP]

Hi, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong :

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Column", "Date created", each if [Date created] > DateTime.FixedLocalNow() then DateTime.FixedLocalNow() else [Date created])

Thanks!

Hello @NumeroENAP 

as far as I know the function Table.ReplaceValue just replaces and old value with a new value. Use this syntax instead (not tested)

= Table.TransformColumns
  (
      #"Column", 
      {
         {
            "Date created", 
            each if _ > Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()) then Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()) else _,
            type date
         }
      }
   )

Hello @NumeroENAP 

just saw that this formula was accepted as solution.

Table.ReplaceValue(#"Column", "Date created", each if DateTime.FromText([Date created])> DateTime.FixedLocalNow() then DateTime.FixedLocalNow() else [Date created])

it can not work, did it?

All the best

Sorry @Jimmy801 , in fact, I worked around the answer that he gave me and it worked. 

But I corrected the situation and gave you the proper credit. 

Thanks for the answer!

@Jimmy801, you are correct. My suggestion makes it accept teh formula without giving an error, but doesn't change the date as intended.

Your answer should be the one marked as solution as it returns the expected result in onwe step.

Try:

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Column", "Date created", each if DateTime.FromText([Date created])> DateTime.FixedLocalNow() then DateTime.FixedLocalNow() else [Date created])
