Calculation of Years

I would like to create a new column called Number of Years served.

 

Number of years served = (Date he left - Date he joined)/365. Both these variables need to be accessed from the same table

 

I'm not able to figure out a way to do the subtraction. Is there any way this can be done? 

 

Thank You!

Hi @Anonymous

 

I think you are trying to reference the columns in a measure, your formua should work in a calculated column.

 

R you can try this as well:

 

Column=DATEDIFF(Table1[Left_Date],Table1[joining_Date],YEAR)

 

Thanks
