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,

 

It's nice to help you. So choose a reply that you think it 's a solution, it'll help the other user :)

I am experiencing this same issue, but this does not work for me. It removes the columns from the variance when the date is missing. 

 

Date Variance = IF('Project'[ProjectBaseline1FinishDate]=BLANK(),'Project'[ProjectBaseline1FinishDate],1.0*'Project'[ProjectBaseline1FinishDate] -('Project'[ProjectBaseline0FinishDate]))
