Calculate Age of Items using fixed historic and future dates

Hi,

I've attached a link to my pbix file with some dummy data. Is there a way I can add just the pbix file?

 

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/z2c9pykget7z4gutuhvsw/Age-Analysis.pbix?rlkey=wvj8rimvy6r00bccszpp9pl...

 

My aim is to create a calculated column that how many items are going to be =>18mths as at 1st Apr 2024

 

I have already calculated this using todays date here:

Age in Mths = DATEDIFF(
                   Data[Created On], 
                   NOW(),MONTH)

 

I have tried using DATEDIFF with "01/04/2024" but I was getting error messages about Text frmat and i should use FORMAT or VALUES.

 

This formaula does work but it returns 4 months for every row? My plan was to add this onto the Age in Mths column.

 

Once all this is done I would like to create a second column, replicating everything in the original column but factoring NETWORKDAYS & Bank Holidays into a second Age in Days2 and Age in Months2 column.

 

Can any show me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

You need to format the date you're comparing to in a very specific way, see the example here:

The double quotes is interpreted as text, so it can't use it the way you've entered it. 

Thank you, I'll give this a go
