Hi,
Being a newbie to this, I was wondering if this would be possible at all.
I am working on relatively unclean data (have yet to advice the business to enforce a data cleansing project) as I wanted to demonstrate via a PowerBI dashboard that you get meaningless/rubbish insights if you don't have clean/meaningful data behind it.
I am working on showing the business how long it takes for a deal to go through each sales milestone, i.e., from when an offer was accepted to when a deposit was received. There are a number of entries in the table where I have the Offer Date but with no Accepted date, however, the result that I am being given is in the negative and not sure how this is calculated behind the scenes.
So for the formula, I have used Column = INT ([AcceptedDate] - [ReceivedDate]), where the ReceivedDate is 18 Aug 2022 and the AcceptedDate is blank. The result I get is -44791. Two questions please:
1. How did the system calculate this to get a result when there is a missing date?
2. In this scenario, is possible to just show the result as 0?
I would like to add that because of the negative numbers the tiles I have used on the dashboard I cannot accurately display a tile that shows the Ave. No. of Days from Offer to Deposit.
Any help that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

hi @jgulliver
To show 0 in such case is a good idea. Try like:
Column =
IF(
[AcceptedDate]=BLANK(),
0,
INT ([AcceptedDate] - [ReceivedDate])
)
Thank you!
