Hi all,
I need to create a columnt that indicates how many days have passed between last two activities with the same client. Here's an example:
| ID | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Days between activities |
| 321546 | 1/5/2019 | null |
| 456878 | 1/7/2019 | null |
321546 | 1/9/2019 | 4 |
| 456878 | 1/30/2019 | 23 |
So with the information in columns [ID] and [Date], I'd like to create the column [Days between activities]. In the above example the first two rows of table values would be first activities from new clients, thus the values in [Days between activities] being null (because there are no earlier activities).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try like
datediff(table[date],MINX(filter(Table,Table[Date]>EARLIER(Table[Date])
&& Table[Id]= EARLIER(Table[Id])),Table[Date]),DAY)
