Datediff with argument

Hello everyone,

 

I looking for some help.

In my dataset I have 1 colum with a "create date" and 2 other colums "current" and "New". (This are serialnumbers.)

When In the table "current" a same number exist in the colum "New" I need to calculate the amount of days between the different days.

Anyone any idea to solve this?

 

Thnx.
Jeffrey

Hi,

 

You can try this:

 

  1. Create a Calculated Column for the Matching Serial Numbers: First, create a calculated column to identify the matching serial numbers between the “current” and “new” columns.

    MatchingSerial = 
    IF(
        'Table'[current] IN VALUES('Table'[new]),
        'Table'[current],
        BLANK()
    )
  2. Create a Calculated Column for the Create Date of the Matching Serial Numbers: Next, create a calculated column to get the create date for the matching serial numbers.

    MatchingCreateDate = 
    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Table'[create date]),
        FILTER(
            'Table',
            'Table'[new] = EARLIER('Table'[current])
        )
    )
  3. Create a Calculated Column for the Number of Days Between Dates: Finally, create a calculated column to calculate the number of days between the create dates.

    DaysBetween = 
    DATEDIFF(
        'Table'[create date],
        'Table'[MatchingCreateDate],
        DAY
    )
