    Hi JustNewbie ,

     

    Please create a new column:

    Column = 
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    'Table'[Label] = "I"
        && (
            'Table'[Date1] <> BLANK ()
                && 'Table'[Date2] <> BLANK ()
        ), DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[Date1], 'Table'[Date2], DAY ),
    'Table'[Label] = "I"
        && (
            'Table'[Date1] = BLANK ()
                && 'Table'[Date2] = BLANK ()
        ), DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[Date3], 'Table'[Date4], DAY )
)

     

    You will get a column like this and I think this is the result you want:

     

    If you have another question, please open another thread. In a post, we'd better only address one issue. This will cpntribute to the efficiency of problem solving.

JustNewbie , Not sure what is the role of conditional formatting here

 

if([Label] = "I" ,

Switch( True(),

isblank([Date1])  && isblank([Date2]) , [Date2] =[Date1],

[Date4] =[Date3],

blank()), blank())
