Counting dates and difference

Hi

 

I have the below data set

 

IDDate 1Date 2
101/01/2023 
102/01/202302/01/2023
103/01/202303/01/2023
204/01/2023 
205/01/202305/01/2023

 

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

@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
