Incorrect values when calculating range
Hi,
I have a requirement to calculate the date difference between two dates (Initial Date and today()) and then categorise them into different buckets 0-45, 46-89,90+
I am getting incorrect values when the difference is null.
Issue: As the Initial Date is blank, the difference between initial date and today is null. But the range is showing as 0-45 as null is being treated as zero.
Sample pbix file is attached here.
Can someone please suggest on how to show this range as "Blank" instead of 0-45?
Differnece =
DATEDIFF(data11[Initial Date],TODAY(),DAY)Range =
IF(data11[Differnece] >=0 && data11[Differnece]<46,"0-45",
IF(data11[Differnece] >45 &&data11[Differnece]<90,"46-90",
IF(data11[Differnece]>89,">90",
IF(ISBLANK(data11[Differnece]),"Blank"))))
Thank you.
In your current setup, when the data11[Initial Date] is blank, DATEDIFF returns a null value, which is not correctly handled in your Range calculation. The solution is to first check if data11[Initial Date] is blank before calculating the difference. If it's blank, you should directly assign "Blank" to the range. Otherwise, proceed with the date difference calculation.
Range = IF( ISBLANK(data11[Initial Date]), "Blank", VAR Differnece = DATEDIFF(data11[Initial Date], TODAY(), DAY) RETURN IF(Differnece >= 0 && Differnece < 46, "0-45", IF(Differnece >= 46 && Differnece < 90, "46-90", IF(Differnece >= 90, ">90"))) )
