    Hi romovaro 

    ah okay, thoight this is what you wanted to have. I created a second one. Please see below:

     

    Datediff2 = 

var var_Client = [Client Name]
var var_StartDate = [Date]
var var_EndDate = 
   CALCULATE(
      MIN([Date]),
      FILTER(
         ALL('BPQ Status'),
         [Client Name] = var_Client &&
         [Date]>var_StartDate
      )
   )

RETURN
IF(
   NOT ISBLANK(var_EndDate),
   DATEDIFF(var_StartDate,var_EndDate,DAY)
)

     

     

    better?

     

    romovaro  EDIT: I found an error in my screenshot with negative values in datediff2. THis was because my datecolumn was formatted as text. After I formatted it to date it worked fine. Please find below the updated screenshot after updating the data type of my date coliumn. Formula is still the same

     

     

    Best regards

    Michael

HI MIke

 

Thanks for your answer.

I see that I get the same results as my formula.

The issue with the formula (same with mine) is that, for example, if I want to show the difference in days for customer C & Client Review (How many days does it take the client to review the contract), it shows 0 days/Blank when in reality, it took 17 days.

 

Formulas are working ok but I would like to show the difference of days in the right row

 

 

 

THanks
