Hello,

I'm newbie with Power BI.

I'm quite familiar with VBA, but not at all with Dax.

I started building my first Power BI report based on several data base fields, but would need to do some calculation with Dax.

I spent time with Microsoft Dax functions definitions (Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) Reference - DAX), but didn't find my solution.

Challenge n°2: Calculate date difference (vs "Today()")

In database "Tasks", I've
  • A column [TargetedDueDate] with targeted completion date => date field
  • A column [Progress] with a range [0-100]. "100" meaning that task is fully completed

I'd like to create 2 new columns:
  • "Variance" where there is calculation: [TargetedDueDate] content – Today () (=> will be positive if still on time and negative if overdue)
  • "ProgressStatus" with 3 possible contents:
"On time": If Variance is ">20"​
"Due soon": If Variance is ">=0" and "<=20"​
"Overdue": If Variance is "<0"​


Do someone could help me with the formulae's in both "Variance" and "ProgressStatus" columns?


Thanks a lot


Fab

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
In case someone else would face same challenge:

Variance =
Number.From(Date.From([TargetedDueDate])) - Number.From(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()))

// and

ProgressStatus =
if [Progress] = 100 then "Completed"
else if [Variance] > 20 then "On time"
else if [Variance] >= 0 and [Variance] <= 20 then "Due soon"
else if [Variance] < 0 then "Overdue"
else // your escape value e.g. null, "Unknown" etc.

Thanks to v-stephen-msft
