i calculate it right but there some wrong entries like the end time before the start and the results show in negative
in the datedif i want to make he negative result as blank how can i do it
Hi abodqmm
You can modify your formula to below:
= VAR __DIFF = DATEDIFF ( 'TableName'[start_time], 'TableName'[end_time], MINUTE ) RETURN IF ( __DIFF < 0, BLANK (), __DIFF )My question now is why would the difference return negative values? Shouldn't the end always be later than the start? You might need to include in your calculation the dates as well.
Hello abodqmm ,
try the following
Column = var diff = DATEDIFF('TableName'[start_time],'TableName'[end_time],MINUTE) RETURN IF(diff < 0,BLANK(),diff)
