2 date fields in different table
having a calendar table makes your life much easier (because you get to use the time intelligence functions)
you can do those calculations without it but you'll have to write a bit more

Oh sorry, I am not saying that DAX makes no sense but the way I pull my reports, having to always add dates in a table just for that is a huge pain but I understand what you are saying and yes it does make sense.
I will try to do a related between these two and will let you know ;) thanks for your support

Wow, this is the first time I am seeing this in Excel! So no choice, the solution is to create a middle table that links the dates in both table. Thanks to both of you!

elatreille did you see you can copy and paste the code in the Query Editor - read how it works later
You can set set your first date here... so the calendar starts from that date - just make sure it is the earliest in your data set
