    Hi GMireles ,

    Since you divided by 365.25 in the manual calculation to account for leap years, you can modify the DAX formula to first calculate the number of days and then convert it to years by dividing by 365.25. This may help reduce the differences.

    Average Tenure (Years) =
AVERAGEX(
'1',
DATEDIFF('1'[Hire Date], TODAY(), DAY) / 365.25
)

     

    If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

     

    Best Regards,
