Counting Days in a column
Hey all,
its really hard to explain, so I'll try to show you what I want within the following table. What I want is a formula for the column "Number of Days".
As the table doesn't has values for every date, the formula for "Number of Days" has to refer to a calendar-table (I guess...), which is already created. Otherwise, you could say, that the date of the first apperance of a product could get the day number 1, but then I don't know how to do count the days that are missing in this table.
| Vol | Date | Product | Number of Days |
| 1 | 24.07.2022 | A | 1 |
| 2 | 24.07.2022 | A | 1 |
| 3 | 25.07.2022 | A | 2 |
| 2 | 26.07.2022 | A | 3 |
| 2 | 28.07.2022 | A | 5 |
| 1 | 29.07.2022 | B | 1 |
I hope this is understandable.
Thank you very much in advance!
Hi, phjz
You can't apply a measure to the x-axis of line chart.
You need to convert your original measure formula to calculated column formula.
Column_Number of days = VAR basedate = CALCULATE ( MIN ( Table1[Date] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Product] ) ) RETURN DATEDIFF ( basedate, Table1[Date], DAY ) + 1Best Regards,

hello phjz ,
please try :Number of days = VAR basedate = CALCULATE(MIN(Table1[Date]),ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Product])) return DATEDIFF(basedate,SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[Date]),DAY) +1That does work really good - thank you so much!
There is one last problem with this: I want to compare Product A and B using a line diagram, but I can't put the measure on the x-axis. When I try to type the formula in the field for a new column, it doesn't work. Do you have an idea for this?
