Datediff with Multiple Possible End Dates

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I'm trying to calculate the lead stage duration of Salesforce leads like this:

DATEDIFF('Lead'[Conversation_Date__c],'Lead'[Converted_Date_c],DAY)

Unfortunately there is no single way through the stages. 

So the end date would come from different stages depending on the next step, e.g. converted or closed. 

The stages can be: MQL, Open, Contact_Attempt, Conversation, Unqualified, Converted. They might appear more than once and can be in other order as well.

How can I use different stages, without them overwriting them?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can create a calculated column as below to get it, please find the details in the attachment.

Column = 
VAR _startdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Conversation_Date__c] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Order] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Order] ) )
    )
VAR _endate =
    SWITCH (
        [Stage],
        "Contact_Attempt", [Contact_Attempt_Date_c],
        "Converted", 'Table'[Converted_Date_c],
        "MQL", 'Table'[MQL_Date_c],
        "Open", 'Table'[Open_Date_c],
        "Unqualified", 'Table'[Unqualified_Date_c]
    )
RETURN
    DATEDIFF ( _startdate, _endate, DAY )

If the above one can't help you, please provide some raw data in your table (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:
