Hello!
After a good bit of digging, I can't find much on how I might accomplish calculating the duration (in days) between a range of date fields
I have multiple dates (dd/mm/yyyy) that tell me when a request exchanged hands between two groups and I'm trying to figure out how I calculate the total duration the request spends with each group.
For example. Total duration with group 1 =
Duration between: Date Request Received & Date Request Sent out
+
Duration between: Date Request Returned 1 & Date Request Sent out 2
+
Duration between: Date Request Returned 2 & Date Request Sent out 3
Thanks for your help!
Hi Evelyn! Thanks for your response, and my apologies for not replying sooner. I do appreciate your help and I think it could work. My only issue is that I have 6 pairs of dates that I am evaluating with DATESBETWEEN in order to get a total duration of time spent.
I was wondering if I can use the expression you provided within DATESBETWEEN? Can DATESBETWEEN evaluate an IF statement?
OR could I define a variable to evaluate that IF statement and use the variable within DATESBETWEEN?
VAR newvariable = IF(ISBLANK('DATES2),TODAY(),'DATES2)
Return
IF (
ISBLANK('DATE1),
BLANK(),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( Dates ),
DATESBETWEEN(
Dates[Date],
DATE1,
newvariable+0),
Dates[IsWorkingDay] = TRUE,
ALLSELECTED('TABLE')
)
)
Thanks,
Ross
Hi @rustyrepublic ,
You could add a column firstly and then replace [DATE2] column with the new column in calculation
New DATE2 = IF(ISBLANK([DATE2]),TODAY(),[DATE2])

Thanks for the response! I have come up with a work-around for this problem and I have another question related to the solution
I am calculating duration as follows but I have one use case that is not covered with this method, and that is where date 2 is not available or blank
Duration =
IF (
ISBLANK('Date 1]),
BLANK(),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( Dates ),
DATESBETWEEN(
Dates[Date],
DATE1,
DATE2 +0),
Dates[IsWorkingDay] = TRUE,
ALLSELECTED(TABLE)
)
)
. Is there a way of using today's day if date 2 is not available/blank in the calculation above?
One way is
diff = [Date Request Received] - [Date Request Sent out]
or
diff = datediff( [Date Request Sent out],[Date Request Received] ,day)
or
diff = datediff( [Date Request Sent out],[Date Request Received] ,second)

Dax do not have exact duration so you can convert diff in duration
