Date Diff using date Filter

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.

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 )

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?
