DATEDIFF help

[Elder22]

Hi,

I have searched the forums for the problem I am having and cannot seem to find the exact problem, so hope you can help!

I am trying to work out the difference between two dates in months, so I can calculate all opportunities due to close this month, and the next two months.

I use this formula:

DateDiff = DATEDIFF(Opportunity[Close Date],TODAY(),MONTH)

However I get the error message " In DATEDIFF function, the start date cannot be greater than the end date", but I expect this - as some oportunities may be closed in the past we wll as the future. How can I solve this so opportunities can be identified in the next 3 months? Even if past opportunities were negative values, for instance.

Any help appreciated - thanks.

@Elder22 so do you want to ignore the opportunity dates that are > than today?

if so its really quite simple, you can ignore it until its relevant

DateDiff =
IF (
    TODAY () > Opportunity[Close Date],
    DATEDIFF ( Opportunity[Close Date], TODAY (), MONTH ),
    0
)
