Try the below solution:

Load *,if(date#(Date,'M/D/YYYY')<date(addYears(Today(),-1),'M/D/YYYY'),'Old','New') as Date_Flag,

date(addYears(Today(),-1)) as prev_yrdate;

LOAD * INLINE [

Thanks for the response, what to do If the date field have blank or Null text?

First convert date as date format

Date(Date#(Date,'M/D/YYYY'),'M/D/YYYY')

after that use max function so it will neglect null values.

Hi,

Do you want to assign a default value to the Date if it is NULL or blank ?
