Calculate date difference

[Coelijoeli]

Hello Community,

I am looking for a way to find the difference between two dates.

I tried te following example: Date1 - Date2

This does not give me the difference... this gives me a weird date value.

I tried to use DATEDIFF, but it does not work because Date 2 can have a lower date then date 1.

What are other options I can use?

Use this code in a new column:

_DateDiferrence =

VAR

Sum_Date=Calculate(sumx('TableName','TableName'[DATE1]-'TableName'[DATE2]))

RETURN

if(sum_Date>=0,Sum_Date,0)

I hope it works for you

hi @SamsonAnalytics 

how would this look if you want to calculate the average for eg products?

and how would this look if the dates are on two different columns?

thank you in advance,

Niki

There was just a recent thread on this. Depending on what you need to do there are several solutions.

My quick solution:

diff = 1.0*([Closed]-[TransactionDate])
