How to use Datediff in power query

I want to create a conditional or a custom column within Power Query (using M) and NOT DAX, Here is my requirement

 

if [Consent Application Submitted] is not blank and [Consent Application Submitted] > 6 Weeks from today then "White"

 

if [Consent Application Submitted] is not blank and [Consent Application Submitted] < 6 Weeks from today then "Red"

 

I know I can do this using DAX (DATEDIFF). However, I want to create a column using Power Query. 

 

Is there a way to achieve this in Power Query or the M code.

Hi @smjzahid ,

 

You could refer to the following codes:

if
Duration.Days(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow())-[Date])>42
then "White"
else "Red"

Hi @smjzahid ,

 

Try this one:

 

if [Date] > Date.AddWeeks(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()), 6) then
"White"
else
"Red"
