Calculated Column or New measure

Hello Everyone,

I am new to power BI and DAX and I was trying to create a calculated column in which the values depend on the calculation from another table.

My data look like these:

Table 1

Project IDProject NameActivityStart DateFinish Date
1Project ATask 12020-01-15 
1Project ATask 2 2020-01-31
2Project BTask 12021-03-19 
2Project BTask 2 2021-12-11
3Project CTask 12022-01-09 
3Project CTask 2 2022-01-31

 

Table 2

Project IDProject NameActivityDuration
1Project ATask 2 
2Project BTask 2 
3Project CTask 2 

 

I was trying to create that Duration column which is the datediff of task 1 start date and task 2 finish date. Could anyone please help me solve this? I tried calculated column but I am getting one same answer for all. Thank you in advanced.
