Duration Days
Hello guys,
I need to calculate and display the duration days. The calculation is
I have a 2 tables: 1) 'Dates' table (created using calendarauto())
2) 'Tickets' table Columns: Ticket opened Date, Restored date, Ticket closed date(all are in date/time format),Ticket Number
If Restored date is having a date then 'Restored date - Ticket opened date', if Restored date is empty then Ticket closed date - Ticket opened date. This should return the duration days(Coumn) in decimals. For ex" 2.3 Days, 7.2 Days.
After getting the days. I need to show them in the ranges like . For ex: If it returns 2.3 it should fall under 0-2 Days. If it returns 7.2 it should fall under 6-10 days.
Finally i need two columns. 1) Duration 2) Days Ranges . Kindly refer below.
1) Duration column has days
| Ticket Opened Date | Restored Date | Ticket Closed Date | Duration |
| 5/29/2020 | 6/1/2020 | 3.2 | |
| 6/2/2020 | 6/10/2020 | 8.7 | |
| 6/15/2020 | 6/20/2020 | 5 | |
| 6/12/2020 | 6/15/2020 | 3.3 | |
| 5/15/2020 | 5/20/2020 | 5.2 | |
| 5/29/2020 | 6/2/2020 | 4.3 | |
| 6/1/2020 | 6/10/2020 | 9.2 | |
| 6/2/2020 | 6/6/2020 | 4.7 | |
| 6/2/2020 | 6/11/2020 | 9.2 | |
| 6/3/2020 | 6/6/2020 | 3.3 |
2) These are the Days Ranges. which need to be created and mapped to above calculation.
| 0-2 Days |
| 3-5 Days |
| 6-10 Days |
| 11-30 Days |
| 31-60 Days |
| 61-90 Days |
| 91-120 Days |
| 121-150 days |
| 151-180 days |
| 181+ Days |
Final result should be 2 columns 1)Duration 2) Days Range.
Kindly Help me with solution. Thanks in advance.
The first block of M code is not a measure but an example of how to create the Duration column. Basically, in the query editor on the Add Column tab, click on Custom Column and then put an expression like this in the pop up box, substituting your actual column names in.
= if [Ticket Closed Date] = null then Duration.TotalHours([Restored Date]-[Ticket Opened Date])/24 else Duration.TotalHours([Ticket Closed Date]-[Ticket Opened Date])/24Then, hit Close & Apply to load the data with the new column, and then click on New Column in the ribbon and enter the DAX expression to get your new Days Range column (follow the pattern started to add more date ranges).

Hi, ghouse_peer
Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.
Table:
You may create two measures as below.
Duration = var _restoredate = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Restored Date]) return IF( NOT(ISBLANK(_restoredate)), var hours = DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Ticket Opened Date]),_restoredate,HOUR) var result1 = INT(hours/24)+MOD(hours,24)/24 return result1 , var hours = DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Ticket Opened Date]),SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Ticket Closed Date]),HOUR) var result2 = INT(hours/24)+MOD(hours,24)/24 return result2 ) Date Range = IF( ISFILTERED('Table'[Ticket Opened Date]), SWITCH( TRUE(), [Duration]>=0&&[Duration]<=2,"0-2", [Duration]>=3&&[Duration]<=5,"3-5", [Duration]>=6&&[Duration]<=10,"6-10", [Duration]>=11&&[Duration]<=30,"11-30", [Duration]>=31&&[Duration]<=60,"31-60", [Duration]>=61&&[Duration]<=90,"61-90", [Duration]>=91&&[Duration]<=120,"91-120", [Duration]>=121&&[Duration]<=150,"121-150", [Duration]>=151&&[Duration]<=180,"151-180", "181+" ) )Result:

v-alq-msft Thanks for the suggestions, solutions which u hv provided. It helped me a lot to learn how we can workaroud in another way. The way u showcased the solution through PBIX file. Thank you very much.
Here is an example query with your data that shows how to get your Duration Column
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("dY9LCsAgDESvUrIWP0mj9Szi/a/R1PoJ0i4EHZ6PmVKAHWaHHj0YiC6M6yGHLEI1RWLUsVB+vC+bOhJ4WdBrngexW+YPstQYVhnvll5G9309U3t2jZqhuz50/psUlyTthEjCt4R+JG1QvQE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Ticket Opened Date" = _t, #" Restored Date" = _t, #"Ticket Closed Date" = _t, #" Duration" = _t]), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(Source,{{" Restored Date", "Restored Date"}}), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"Ticket Opened Date", type date}, {"Restored Date", type date}, {"Ticket Closed Date", type date}, {" Duration", type number}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "DurationNew", each if [Ticket Closed Date] = null then Duration.TotalHours([Restored Date]-[Ticket Opened Date])/24 else Duration.TotalHours([Ticket Closed Date]-[Ticket Opened Date])/24), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"DurationNew", type number}}) in #"Changed Type1".
You can then use SWITCH(TRUE() ... in a Calculated Column to get your Range using this pattern
Range = SWITCH ( TRUE (), Tickets[ Duration] <= 2, "0-2 Days", Tickets[ Duration] <= 5, "3-5 Days", Tickets[ Duration] <= 10, "6-10 Days" )If this works for you, please mark it as the solution. Kudos are appreciated too. Please let me know if not.

mahoneypat Kindly elaborate please( I mean step by step). I am unable to distinguish between these measures.
