Date Difference with blank values

  Hi,   I'm trying to calculate the number of days between two dates and for one of these columns, there may be blanks which I want to ignore (rather than give a large -ve value).   What DAX do ...

    Hi ManNVSM,

     

    Thanks for your help. You gave me the idea of using dummy data so I did this and came up with this formula:

     

    Days to close = if('Breach Register'[Breach closed date]=BLANK(),'Breach Register'[Breach closed date],1.0*'Breach Register'[Breach closed date]-'Breach Register'[Date that breach discovered])

     

    This seems to work ok.

     

    Thanks for your help again.

Dear Bimster,

 

You need to combine your DateDiff DAX with IF.

Ex:    New Day to close =   CALCULATE( IF ( CLoseDate <> blank(),   [your DateDif Formular] , ""))
