Calculating days between dates in same column
I tried to use the column as you have stated. I think there is a logic missing regarding the salesperson so if the sales person is not assigned then the day should not be count. Can we create that column accordingly.
Hi Nepal101
Use this instead:
Days Diff =
VAR __PREV =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Date] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
&& 'Table'[ClientName] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[ClientName] )
&& 'Table'[salesperson] <> "null" )
)
RETURN
DATEDIFF ( __PREV, 'Table'[Date], DAY ) + 0
As to the running total, you can either use a calc column or a measure but calc column is not to be aggregated as it will show incorrect sub or grand total. Please see attached pbix for the details.

Hello danextian
Thank you so much for your insight.
I have one more question is there a way to coun the days when the sales person is assigned instead of showing 0daysas the sales person was assigned on that paticular day I need to count that day as one to get the correct value.

At first I created
test = If('MV[Salesperson]<>Blank(),'MV'[Date],Blank())MeasureMIN-new = CALCULATE(MIN('MV'[test]),ALLEXCEPT('MV'[Client Name]))Measure 3 = [MeasureMIN-new]-1 ( so that I can get 1 day when the salesperson is assigned)Date diff =var fistdate= [MeasureMIN-new]var Demote =CALCULATE(MAX('MV'[test]),Filter(ALLEXCEPT('MV'[Client Name]),'MV'[test])))ReturnIf ('MV'[test]=fistdate,DATEDIFF([Measure 3],'MV'[test],Day),DATEdiff(Demote,'MV'[test],DAY))
Is there a way to count the days rolling over meaning for 11/6/2023 =1 on 11/7/2023 it should show 2 and 11/8/2023 it should show 3 and for 11/14/2023 it should show 9 for that row of date. is that possible. I can't upload the file so hope this helps what I have explained.- danextian2 years agoSuper User
Hi Nepal101
I would suggest you provided enough information and sample data that covers your use case instead of just bits and pieces.
