Compare Dates

Hi,

Why is this giving correct results?

Column INT = IF(Table1[Column1].[Date] > Table1[Column2].[Date], 0, 1)


And this is not?

Column DIFF = IF(Table1[Column1].[Date] > Table1[Column2].[Date], DATEDIFF(Table1[Column3].[Date], Table1[Column1].[Date],DAY), DATEDIFF(Table1[Column3].[Date], Table1[Column2].[Date],DAY))

Hello,

 

It does give the correct result in both cases.

 

Why it might seem it is not correct is because as you wrote your formula for Column DIFF in your sample data you compare the same dates 1/1/2020 with 02/20/2019, on both rows, so you get the same -315 result
