Compare 2 Dates - IF Condition - HELP

[fabiolamelo]

Hi everyone,

I`m working on one project that I need to compare two columns date, which are:

Contract Date | Renewed Contract  Date 

27/01/2021    |        26/01/2021                  

27/01/2021    |        28/01/2021                  

If "Renewed Contract Date " is bigger than "Contract Date" inform "Late" if not "Anticipated".For example"

Contract Date | Renewed Contract  Date | 

27/01/2021    |        26/01/2021               | "Anticipated"

27/01/2021    |        28/01/2021               | "Late"

My idea is using the IF condition but I didn't find an away to compare two dates using this condition, can you please 

Can you please help me with it?

Thanks

If you want a calculated column @fabiolamelo then the solution by @danextian is what you need. If you want to do this in Power Query, you would use this:

= if [Date1] > [Date2] then "Late" else "Anticipated"

If you need this in a measure, you will need to provide a bit more details with some data so we can help, but one fast way to try this is to use this measure:

Status =
IF(
    MAX( 'Table'[Date1] )
        > MAX( 'Table'[Date2] ),
    "Late",
    "Anticipated"
)

But that is a total stab in the dark as I don't know your expected output - not late/anticipated - but how you want to express it in a visual.

I didn't know that using MAX the IF condition for this case will works 🙂 Thank you so much for your help, I`m using the measure with MAX as you suggest and it was perfect 🙂 God bless you!

Try something like this:
IF ( 'Table'[Renewed Contract Date] > 'Table'[Contract Date],  "Late",  "Anticipated"  ).
