Finish date variance

Hi

 

I'm very, very new to Power BI......

 

I've prepared a report in table format linked to data from MS Project Online.

 

 I need to include a column that sets out how many days overdue a task is compared to its planned finish date is. I can see how to show the variance between a finish date and a baseline finish date, however that isn't what I'd need.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Try this calculated column formula

 

=[Planned Finsh Date]-TODAY()

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @KeriHHBB

Please try this formula

Column = DATEDIFF([planned finish date],TODAY(),DAY)

This formula would calculate [the planned finish date]- today's date, thus you know how many days the task delays.

Hi,

 

Try this calculated column formula

 

=MAX([Planned FInish Date],[Actual FInish Date])-MIN([Planned FInish Date],[Actual FInish Date])

 

Hope this helps.

Create a calculated columns in "Modeling"->New columns

Column = DATEDIFF([planned finish date],[actual finish date],DAY)

Hi

Thanks for your responses.

In fact I want to compare the planned finish date against today's date so that I can see which tasks are late, and by how many days.
