Hi
I have the below data set
ID | Date 1 | Date 2 |
1 | 01/01/2023 | |
1 | 02/01/2023 | 02/01/2023 |
1 | 03/01/2023 | 03/01/2023 |
2 | 04/01/2023 | |
2 | 05/01/2023 | 05/01/2023 |
I have put the data in a mtrix table so that I can see the ID number and the total number of date 1 for each ID and then total number of Date 2. I have put them in a matrix as a count of dates. I want to add a column in to look at the total differences like below. What formula do I use to count the total number of date 1 and then subtract against the total of Date 2 so I can get the difference. hope that makes sense, thank you
ID | Date 1 total | Date 2 total | Difference |
1 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
2 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
@WJ876400 Maybe:
totalDifference Measure =
VAR __Date1 = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[Date 1] <> BLANK())
VAR __Date2 = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[Date 2] <> BLANK())
VAR __Result = __Date1 - __Date2
RETURN
__Result
Thank you for the quick response, I got an error on my measure can you see where I went wrong?
