I am trying to group by Item and compare the original date (earliest date) with the modified date to see how much delay was caused.
How can I group by Item and compare the dates? Thanks
Ideally, a third column would have something like this (in days):
Difference |
blank() |
15 |
0 |
blank() |
5 |
5 |

Here's a Power Query solution:
1. Group by Item and add columns Min Date and All (all rows):
2. Click the double arrow on the All column and select Date:
3. Add a custom column Delay:
Duration.Days([Date] - [Min Date])
4. Result:
