HELP! Complex expression assistance needed!

Hi All,

I am trying to calculate a value for an existing column called 'Performance' by using two dates. The requested date of delivery, and the actual date of delivery. If the line was delivered before the requested delivery date the value needs to list 'EARLY' . If the same day it needs to list 'ON TIME'. If the line was delivered after the requested delivery date the value needs to list 'LATE'.

Requested Delivery DateActual Delivery DatePerformance
01/01/201810/01/2018
20/01/201810/01/2018
30/01/201815/01/2018

This table is a perfect match to my data set, however I am struggling to write the expression that would populate the 'Performance' Column. Can anyone help?

Thank you for reading

Alex.

May be this?

Load  [Requested Delivery Date],

          [Actual Delivery Date],

          If([Requested Delivery Date] < [Actual Delivery Date], 'EARLY',

          If([Requested Delivery Date] < [Actual Delivery Date], 'On Time',

          If([Requested Delivery Date] > [Actual Delivery Date], 'LATE'))) as Performance

Hi,

you want to create the field performance on the model or just use it as an expression in a chart ?
