Formula based on dates

[RonaldvdH]

Hey guys,

I need your help again and this time i need an adjustment of my formula i think.

The question is actually pretty simple but my excisting formula doesn't seem to work.

I have a table with our permits in them with different dates and i want a visual that triggers us if a permit expires within 6 weeks.

So i have a colum whicht has the dates on which an permit expires and i want another column to show the date when we need to extend the permit

Permit	expires on	extend per
Permit A	30-06-20	19-05-20
Permit B	30-09-20	19-08-20
Permit C	30-08-20	19-07-20
Permit D	30-12-20	18-11-20

The trick is that i only want the permits to show where the extend per date is within 6 week from now so i made this formula but it doesn't produce the right result

Extend permit = IF(Permits[Permits expires]<>BLANK(),IF(Permits[Permits expires]<(TODAY()-42),Permits[Permits expires]-42))

Hi @RonaldvdH ,

We can create a calculate column to meet your requirement.

Extend permit = 
IF(
    'Permits'[expires on]<>BLANK(),
    IF (
        AND (
        Permits[expires on] >= TODAY(),
        Permits[expires on] <= TODAY() + 42
        ),
        Permits[expires on] - 42
        )
    )

You can change the date range according to your requirement. The result like this,

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

BTW, pbix as attached.

@RonaldvdH , Create a measure like this and use it. This should filter

calculate(countrows(Permits),filter(Permits,Permits[Permits expires]<>BLANK() && Permits[Permits expires]<(TODAY()-42)))

@amitchandak i need a calculated column to use in the visual so if your measure can be adjusted it might work

your formula now just counts the number of rows where the formula returns a value instead of a value per row in the database

Try this expression instead

Extend permit =
VAR __thisdate =
TODAY ()
RETURN
IF (
AND (
Permits[Permits expires] >= __thisdate - 42,
Permits[Permits expires] <= __thisdate
),
Permits[Permits expire] - 42
)

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.
