Solved

I am able to use dateadd function but not the datediff function.

When using the dateadd function, I am able to select the column names from the drop down list. But when I am using the datediff fucntion, I am not seeing the dropdown list and am not able to select the column names. Please advise. Thank you. 

(Here are the screenshots for your reference.)

 

  • Hi, Anonymous 

    I assume you want to create a measure, not a column.

    Please try to write something like below.

     

    DATEDIFF ( MAX(
    DATEDIFF ( MIN(

    DATEDIFF ( SELECTEDVALUE(

    ...

      Hi Jihwan, 

       

      Thank you for your reply. I have managed to work around it by using the average function. But I have also tried your "DATEDIFF ( SELECTEDVALUE( " suggestion and it works as well. Thank you!
