Confounded by this issue and hoping someone can help! I'm having a problem with date math in a Power BI Measure.
I have a measure that calculates the difference (in days) between TODAY() and a Created date in a table column. The Created Data is stored as Date/Time format, Short Date.
Clearly 198 days have not elapsed between TODAY() (01/11/2023 at time of posting) and the created date (12/20/2022). It should be 22 days. The Measure calculation is this.
Oddly enough, I created another measure (DaysElapsed) as a sanity check, and used the same values and the caluclation worked fine!
I've noticed the issue appears when I'm subtracting a date from last year but works fine when I'm subtracting a date from this year. Stumped.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this and see ...
Days Since Created = ABS( DATEDIFF(TODAY(), SELECTEDVALUE(TableDateMathBug[Created]), DAY))
Thanks you for the quick response! That worked!
Try this and see ...
Days Since Created = ABS( DATEDIFF(TODAY(), SELECTEDVALUE(TableDateMathBug[Created]), DAY))
