Hi,
Im looking for some help creating a new column to distinguish wether an Appointment was Early, Late or In Target.
I have 3 fields that are going to be used APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE, APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_START_DATE and APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_END_DATE.
Im im currently having issues ignoring the blanks in the APPOINTMENT_ACTUAL_START_DATE. Heres what i want to acheive

Hi @Anonymous
If you're adding this as a calculated column, you don't need all of the MAX functions. They are essentially calculating the max value for that entire column - not what you're after!
I always favour the SWITCH function rather than nested IF statements as I find it easier to read.
Try adding a calculated column with the expression below:
APPTCTGY =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
ISBLANK( FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] ), "EARLY",
FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] < FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_START_DATE ], "EARLY",
FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] > FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_END_DATE], "LATE",
FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] >= FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_START_DATE]
&& FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE]
<= MAX(FACT_Appt[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_END_DATE] ), "IN TARGET"
)
Best regards,
Martyn
could you please share sample dataset and expected output.
Why there are to many "AND" in your formula?
Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous ,
You could create a measure like this:
APPTCTGY =
IF (
ISBLANK ( MAX ( 'table'[ APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] ) ),
"EARLY",
IF (
MAX ( 'table'[ APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] )
< MAX ( 'table'[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_START_DATE ] ),
"EARLY",
IF (
MAX ( 'table'[ APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] )
> MAX ( 'table'[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_END_DATE] ),
"LATE",
IF (
MAX ( 'table'[ APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] )
>= MAX ( 'table'[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_START_DATE ] )
&& MAX ( 'table'[ APPOINTMENT ACTUAL_START_DATE] )
<= MAX ( 'table'[APPOINTMENT_WINDOW_END_DATE] ),
"IN TARGET"
)
)
)
)

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have followed your code in creating a new column and when the following is applied its returning all values as "EARLY"

Thats worked a treat Martyn thanks very much for your help. This switch funstion is really adaptable and i shall be able to use this in many other areas of my model.
Thanks very much
Alex
You can use Switch True and use isblank to check for blank
Example
Switch (true(),
condition, action,
condition, action,
condition, action,
else action)
Thanks. What logiv would you use within the switch to ignore the null values in the ACTUAL_APPOINTMENT)START_DATE field.
Thanks
Alex
Switch( true(),
isblank(APPOINTMENT_ACTUAL_START_DATE ), "Early",
....
)
