If statement < date in load editor

[#1]

Hello,

I am having trouble with this if statement in the load editor.

Here is an excerpt from my script:

[_Onesheet_churn]: LOAD monthname("Original Order Date") as [original_order_date] FROM onesheet_churn [_Add_Order_date_churn]: Load monthname(if((original_order_date)<monthname('2011/4/18'), monthname(makedate(2011,4,18)), original_order_date)) as [churn_order_date] Resident _Onesheet_churn

The result is that my dates prior to "2011/4/18" are not converted to "2011/4/18," the dates are showing up in their original form.

What I need is "if(original_order_date)<(2011/4/18) then change the date to (2011/4/18) , else [original_order_date] as [churn_order_date]

Any help is much appreciated!

Maybe something like

monthname( RangeMax( original_order_date, Makedate(2011,4,18) ) ) as [churn_order_date]

[ahaahaaha]

Or

[_Onesheet_churn]:

LOAD

monthname("Original Order Date") as [original_order_date]

FROM onesheet_churn

[_Add_Order_date_churn]:

Load

monthname(if((Num(original_order_date))<Num(monthname('2011/4/18')), monthname(makedate(2011,4,18)), original_order_date)) as [churn_order_date]

Resident _Onesheet_churn
