Convert string to date and compare with date today

Sorry for asking but i can't find the right solution...

In my expression, I want to convert a string into date and then i want to compare this date with the date today, in order to check if converted date is in the future or past.

I tried =Date(Date#('11-07-2019', 'DD.MM.YYYY'), 'DD.MM.YYYY') to display 11.07.2019 in a textbox but the output is " - ".

Thanks in advance!

@sunny_talwar may i ask you one more question.
Is an expression like this possible?
=IF(Date(date#(Duedate,'DD-MM-YYYY'),' DD.MM.YYYY')<DATE(MonthEnd(Today(),+1), 'DD.MM.YYYY'),Status='YES' AND
IF(TestText='Missing Due Date', Count(IF(Duedate='',Duedate)),
IF(TestText='Total yes all ref', Count(If(Status='YES',Status)),
IF(TestText='A1 - NO',Count({<Reference={'A1'}>} IF(Status = 'NO',Status)),
IF(TestText='B1 - NO',Count({<Reference={'B1'}>} IF(Status = 'NO',Status)),
IF(TestText='C1 - NO',Count({<Reference={'C1'}>} IF(Status = 'NO',Status)),
IF(TestText='TOTAL',Count(IF(Duedate<>'',Duedate)))
))))))

Thank you very much and Regards!!

Highlighted some of the issues

1) You have a comma and after that you have another condition... can't work like this... you need 'AND' or 'OR' between them or just give a value (like 'YES') without equal

2) You cannot have AND and IF like this... you can either remove AND or IF based on your requirement...

 

There might be others, but it is difficult to know the issue without knowing the underlying goal.
