Hi community,
I want to create a measure that calculate the days between the oldest date of my table and a day selection based on date filter.
For insance, using the table below, the oldest date is "01/01/2022" and if I select in my date filter (which is from my same table) "01/09/2022" the result should be 8 days, or if I select in the filter "01/05/2022" the result would be 4.
Dates
Thanks for you help!

Hi @JorgeMolano
What if no selection in the slicer? What do you want to display, the blank? Modify the table and column name accordingly
test =
VAR CurDate=SELECTEDVALUE(DateTable[Dates])
VAR MinDate = MINX(ALL(DateTable[Dates]),DateTable[Dates])
RETURN
DATEDIFF(MinDate,CurDate,DAY)
Hi @JorgeMolano ,
Based on your description, try the following formula.
M_ =
VAR a =
CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Date] ), ALL ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
VAR sel_b =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] )
RETURN
DATEDIFF ( a, sel_b, DAY )
If the problem is still not resolved, please point it out. Looking forward to your feedback.
Best Regards,
Henry

Hi Vera,
Thanks for your support, I tried the measure you shared but only shows a consecutive number per each row, dont calculate the number of days between 2 different dates.
Best!
Hi,
The formula suggested by Vera should work for sure. Make sure you write it as a measure (not a calculated column) and drag that measure to a card visual.
Hi @JorgeMolano
It worked here...maybe try ALL(DateTable) instead of the column? Or attach a sample file?
