Hi all,
I have 3 tables :
Case
- create_date
Action
- create_date
and the join table
Case_join
- action_id
- case_id
Case and Action have a one to many relationship.
I am trying to calculate the duration between Case[create_date] and the first Action[create_date] associated to the case.
I tried to add a new column in the join table and use a DAX query but I didn't manage to get it right.
Any hints ?
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous
Create measures in Table "Case"
Measure to return the first Action[create_date] associated to each case
min per case = CALCULATE(MIN('Action'[Date]),ALLEXCEPT(Case_Action,Case_Action[K_Case]))
Measure to calculate the duration between Case[create_date] and the first Action[create_date] associated to the case
Take this formula for example
the first Action[create_date] - Case[create_date] per row
duration_day = DATEDIFF(MAX('Case'[Date]),[min per case],DAY)
duration_hours = DATEDIFF(MAX('Case'[Date]),[min per case],HOUR)
Best Regards
Maggie
