Quick measure output in wrong format

Hello

I have created a couple of quick measures to calculate the difference in two dates for a specific usergroup, as below

 

1. WorkingDaysDiff = NETWORKDAYS(SELECTEDVALUE('Engagements'[Referral Date]), (SELECTEDVALUE('Engagements'[Eligibility Confirmation Date])))

 

2.  KPI2test = NETWORKDAYS(SELECTEDVALUE('Engagements'[Eligibility Confirmation Date]), (SELECTEDVALUE('Meeting List'[Date/Time])))

 

Now the first measure outputs in the correct whole number format (e.g 1) , whereas the second measure provides the out put as (eg 32245) rather than (1,2,3,4 etc).

 

I do not understand why the first measure outputs correctly and the second one does not. I have tried changing the format on the ribbon etc to no avail.  Does anyone have a solution for this, I have been away from powerbi for a while so Im a bit rusty!

 

Thanks in advance

Have you tried "Measure Tools" after clicking your Measure?

Hi Tom

 

Yes I have tried, no luck

have you checked the format of that column 'Meeting List'[Date/Time] whether it's a date or it's "date time".

Sometimes I got funny result due to incorrect data format in Power query.
