if [#"Date 1"] = null then [#"Date 2"]
else if [#"Date 1"] = null and [#"Date 2"] = null
then [#"Date 3"] else 0
Any help greatly appreciated
Hi,
The order of condition is not appropriate, in the first condition if [#"Date 1"] = null is true, it result in [#"Date 2"] which might be null also, so revise the formula as followif [#"Date 1"] = null and [#"Date 2"] = null
then [#"Date 3"] else if [#"Date 1"] = null then [#"Date 2"]
else 0
You can also use the following magical writing method:
[#"Date 1"] ?? [#"Date 2"] ?? [#"Date 3"] ?? 0
