Helper Idate.Isinpreviousn Year strange result
Hello Team,
I have a question, because this appears kind of strange to me. Probably there's a good explanation for this, but i don't see it.
I have added a column with IsInPreviousNYears([Customer_Modified_On],8 ) which is a date-type column.
However on a date of 23-2-2021 it returns FALSE. I would expect TRUE as it was in the Previous 8 Years.
Does anybody have an idea what goes wrong here?
Hi, JeroenHD
Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.
Table:
You may add a new step with the following m codes.
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each let end = Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()), start = Date.AddYears(end,-8) in [Date]>=start and [Date]<=end)Result(Today is 3/4/2021):

JeroenHDi solved it in Dax now, but i am still curious if anyone can help me figure out what the deal is in Power Query.

Hi JeroenHD ,
"Note that this function will return false when passed a value that occurs within the current year."
