SUMX Help

  I created a measure using SUMX to get the number of days between two dates so that I could see how many days it takes an account manager to approve something once it's submitted for approval...
DAX SUMX
“DAX"

    Hi kballar1 

    In your data screenshot, the Physical Date and Price Approved Date are not in Date format. Please make both dates as Date format.
    Use Power Query to correct your data datatype


    Then use the measure

    Measure = DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Physical Date]),SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Price Approved]),DAY)

     

     

     



    You will find all date diff are correct

    If solved your requirement, please mark this answer as SOLUTION.

    Thanks

Hi kballar1 ,

Your measure is working fine with my test data. I recreated a measure for you  to test.

Here some steps that I want to share, you can check them if they suitable for your requirement.

Here is my test data:

1.Create a measure

Lag = SUMX(
    'Table', 
    INT('Table'[Price Approved] - 'Table'[Physical Date])
)

2.Final output

 

Best Regards,
Albert He

 Hi,

I tried that but as you can see, it works one some but not the other. There are not 48 days between 12/21/2023-1/02/2024. How do I fix this?

      It was already marked as date I was just presenting the data in a table visual. But I tried the code you suggested and it worked. Thank you!
