Hi
I am trying to count the days between two stages for each MR No. What is the best way to do this in Power BI? In excel I would use =IF(B3=B2, (DAYS(A3,A2)),(0)).
Many thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
How about this one?
Date_Diff =
VAR NextAuditDate =
CALCULATE (
VALUES ( TableName[Audit Date] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( TableName ),
TableName[MR No.] = EARLIER ( TableName[MR No.] )
&& TableName[Date RANK]
= EARLIER ( TableName[Date RANK] ) + 1
)
)
RETURN
DATEDIFF ( TableName[Audit Date], NextAuditDate, DAY )Hi @Anonymous,
This calculated column formula works
=if(ISBLANK(CALCULATE(MIN(Data[Audit Date]),FILTER(Data,Data[MR No.]=EARLIER(Data[MR No.])&&Data[Audit Date]>EARLIER(Data[Audit Date])))),BLANK(),CALCULATE(MIN(Data[Audit Date]),FILTER(Data,Data[MR No.]=EARLIER(Data[MR No.])&&Data[Audit Date]>EARLIER(Data[Audit Date])))-[Audit Date])
Hi @Anonymous,

=if(ISBLANK(CALCULATE(MIN(Data[Audit Date]),FILTER(Data,Data[MR No.]=EARLIER(Data[MR No.])&&Data[Audit Date]>EARLIER(Data[Audit Date])))),BLANK(),CALCULATE(MIN(Data[Audit Date]),FILTER(Data,Data[MR No.]=EARLIER(Data[MR No.])&&Data[Audit Date]>EARLIER(Data[Audit Date])))-[Audit Date])
Hi @Anonymous
Try this solution
First add a calculated column "DATE RANK"
Date RANK=
RANKX (
FILTER ( TableName, TableName[MR No.] = EARLIER ( TableName[MR No.] ) ),
TableName[Audit Date],
TableName[Audit Date],
ASC,
DENSE
)
Then you can compute the Days Difference between each successive audit dates for each MR No using this formula
Date Difference=
VAR PreviousAuditDate =
CALCULATE (
VALUES ( TableName[Audit Date] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( TableName ),
TableName[MR No.] = EARLIER ( TableName[MR No.] )
&& TableName[Date RANK]
= EARLIER ( TableName[Date RANK] ) - 1
)
)
RETURN
DATEDIFF ( PreviousAuditDate, TableName[Audit Date], DAY )
Hello and many thanks for this :)! Just one more thing - I need to show the "date difference" count on the preceeding audit date to show how long each stage took before it moved to the next one. So, the 5 days difference on line 2 should move to line 1 and so on.
Thank you for your help.
