Difference calculation between dates

Good day,

 

Can someone help me with the following:

Have two Excel files in which one states: termination date and the other one: hiring date.

This is used in a chart to show the number of hires and leavers per month in year X.

Now, I like to see the net growth = number of hires minus (-) number of leavers.

 

How does this work?

@Lorraine88-Siri , You can join the two dates from two tables with a common date table. and you can plot the trend together using common date table.

 

In case of termination date measure check for non blank

 

calculate(countrrows(Terminations), not(isblank(Terminations[date]))
