    Hi there

     

     

    Here is the DAX code

     

    Table = CROSSJOIN('Table1','Table2')

    This will give you the result you want

    Here we go

     

    Table =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            CROSSJOIN ( 'Table1', 'Table2' ),
            "DateDiff", DATEDIFF ( 'Table1'[Date1], 'Table2'[Date2], DAY )
        )
    )

    Hi,

     

    Just in case you want to do this with M code, try this

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUTIw1TU00jUyMLRQitWJVjICCZmgCBljCpmgCcUCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID1 = _t, Date1 = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID1", Int64.Type}, {"Date1", type date}}),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Table2),
        #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", {"ID2", "Date2"}, {"ID2", "Date2"}),
        #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Custom",{{"ID2", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Changed Type with Locale" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type1", {{"Date2", type date}}, "en-IN"),
        #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type with Locale", "Custom", each [Date1]-[Date2]),
        #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom1",{{"Custom", Int64.Type}})
    in
        #"Changed Type2"

    Hope this helps.
