DATEDIFF, calculate days between today and SQL date field, error
Hi All,
I had a new column with the DATEDIFF working fine and suddendly stoped working.
Age = DATEDIFF(utcnow()+ 'Contas correntes de clientes'[dataven]+ DAY)
I was calculating the number of days between today and a sql column date with a previous date.
Now i have this error:
Too few arguments were passed to the DATEDIFF function. The minimum argument count for the function is 3.
Seems like this should be the one:
Age = DATEDIFF(UTCTODAY(), 'Contas correntes de clientes'[dataven], DAY)
Is this a column or a measure?
This is what worked for me in a standard Calendar table:
Column = DATEDIFF(UTCTODAY(), [Date], DAY)

It seems like you have plus symbols (+) where you should have commas (,) or semi-colons (;).
I am unaware of a regional language variation that uses + symbols like that...
I've tried with this both syntax:
Age = DATEDIFF(UTCTODAY(); 'Contas correntes de clientes'[dataven]; DAY)
and
Age = DATEDIFF(UTCTODAY(), 'Contas correntes de clientes'[dataven], DAY)
And the error now is:
The syntax for ';' is incorrect. (DAX(DATEDIFF(UTCTODAY(); 'Contas correntes de clientes'[dataven]; DAY))).
