calculated date difference from different months giving negative value
Trying to create a calculated column that takes the difference between 2 different dates. However I'm running into an issue where the formula is not recognizing the values that are from 2 different months.
For example: Wed, June 20 (DoneDate) - Thur, July 12 (ToDoDate) will get me a negative value of -8 rather than giving me 22.
Here is the formula i'm using:
Time = IF(OR(ISBLANK('Table1'[DoneDate].[Day]), ISBLANK('Table1'[ToDoDate].[Day])), 0, DATEDIFF('Table1'[ToDoDate].[Day],'Table1'[DoneDate].[Day], DAY))
Calcuation will work just fine if the dates are in the same month.
Hi Anonymous,
It seems that you may modify your formula like below.
Time = IF ( OR ( ISBLANK ( 'Table1'[DoneDate].[Day] ), ISBLANK ( 'Table1'[ToDoDate].[Day] ) ), 0, DATEDIFF ( 'Table1'[DoneDate], 'Table1'[ToDoDate], DAY ) )By my test with Power BI Desktop Version: 2.61.5192.541 64-bit (August 2018), everyhing works as expected.
If you still need help, please share your sample data and your desired output.
