Can anyone help with this formula. in excel i can manage it, but in M.... that's a different matter entirely. i am setting traffic lights to indicate progress on a report.

the formula in excel for the Indicator colour is:

Code:
=IF(D2=100,"GREEN",IF(AND(OR(D2=0,D2=""),TODAY()>B2),"RED",IF((TODAY()-(B2+((D2/100)*E2)))>14,"RED",IF(AND((TODAY()-(B2+((D2/100)*E2)))<=14,(TODAY()-(B2+((D2/100)*E2)))>=0),"AMBER","GREEN"))))

Col D contains the % Completion of each project. So, if its 100%, excellent. GREEN. if its 0 or Null, AND we are past the start date, Bad RED.

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
The rest of the formula compares the progress date (start date plus (% completion x duration of project)) to today's date and if its inside 14 days over or under, Amber, greater than 14 days, RED, everything else Green.

Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table4"]}[Content],
    ChangeType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Start Date for Next Activity", type date}, {"End Date for Next Activity", type date}}),
    today = Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),
    Result = Table.AddColumn(ChangeType, "Indicator color (as of " & Text.From(today) & ")", each let 
                startdate = [Start Date for Next Activity],
                enddate = [End Date for Next Activity],
                progress = if [#"% Complete"] = null then 0 else [#"% Complete"]/100,
                plannedduration = enddate - startdate,
                targetdate = Date.AddDays(startdate, Number.Round(Duration.Days(plannedduration)*progress)),
                daysfromtarget = Duration.Days(targetdate - today)
            in 
                if progress = 1 then "GREEN" else 
                if today > enddate then "RED" else 
                if Number.Abs(daysfromtarget) <= 14 then "AMBER" else 
                if daysfromtarget > 14 then "GREEN" else "RED")
