Hello Everyone,
I am using duration.days to calculate the duration between two dates. But the result is sometimes right and sometimes wrong.
For example between 28/04/2020 and 04/05/2020 it should returns 7, it returns 6
And between 05/05/2020 and 06/05/2020 it returns the correct result which is 1.
Still showing 6 instead of 7
because of 28/04/2020 is excluding it is not including.
I don't think so, because it gives correct results for other dates, like 04/05/2020 and 07/05/2020. it returns 3
it gives correct results for other dates, like 04/05/2020 and 07/05/2020. it returns 3 , YES because 04/05/2020 is excluding and 07/05/2020 is including i.e (05/05/2020,06/05/2020,07/05/2020) , you should count other dates day.
How can i correct this then ?
Should i add 1 to the result?
No @Anonymous ,because if you add 1 so in this scenario05/05/2020 and 06/05/2020 it returns the correct result which is 1 answer will be wrong.
Then should i just leave it like this?
Go To >> Power Query >> Select first date then Select subtract date column >> Add column tab >> from Date & time >> Date drop down >> click subtract day >> you got your answer correct.
>>first date is exluding it is not including.
