Hi I am trying to find a date difference for milestones reporting over a number of periods. Variance has to be negative if slipped bewtween the periods. The dates are indifferent tables, the row has a common Milestone ID. I have a linked the tables as below to a DAte Table so I can somehow catergorise Year/Month etc. When I try to use DateDiff I add New Column to the Table and try but I get the below error message:
Below is a extract of the model view.
Please help!
Data Table as below, its much larger, what I would like to do is link the Forecast date per period to the "YearPeriod" data so I can filter on a particular "YearPeriod". I have linked the Baseline table to the date Table so I can show the baseline "YearPeriod", but how can I show the Forecast "YearPeriod" to multiple different coumns?
Thank you.
