I could have sworn this worked last month when I first created, but i am getting an error on my Custom column.

Expression.Error: We cannot apply operator - to types Date and Number. I have 4 columns that to create a count if an item was late or not based on the received date minus 5, since we have a 5 day buffer.

Here is one of my custom column formulas: if [#"[RCT]Date Received (Date)"]-5 <= [#"[PO]Due Date (Date)"] then 0 else 1

 

i've attached my source file as well as the TEMPLATE file that houses the power query. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hi Kasey,

You need to use the Date.AddDays function to adjust the date e.g.

if Date.AddDays([#"[RCT]Date Received (Date)"],-5) <= [#"[PO]Due Date (Date)"] then 0 else 1
