Datediff function is giving always negative values
Hi,
I am using the below expression:
Recv Split = DATEDIFF('Data'[LW_RECEIVE_END_DATE_TIME], 'Data'[LW_RECEIVE_START_DATE_TIME], SECOND)
and my source data is like below:
But I am always getting negative values. Please help me.

Start_Date should be in the first parameter position while End_Date be in the second parameter as below.

Have you tried flipping the start and end times?
Ex. Recv Split = DATEDIFF('Data'[LW_RECEIVE_START_DATE_TIME],'Data'[LW_RECEIVE_END_DATE_TIME], SECOND)
This is a really lazy work around but couldn't you multiply the function by -1? If it is always giving you negatives that should work.
Ex. Recv Split = DATEDIFF('Data'[LW_RECEIVE_START_DATE_TIME],'Data'[LW_RECEIVE_END_DATE_TIME], SECOND)*-1
