IF Function -

Hi guy. I've to calculate the difference between two date (which are in the same table) but if one is blank I want to use today.

 

I write the function so:

 

if isblank([RechDatum]) then now() - [Eingangsdatum] else 0

 

but it doesn't work, gives me error.

 

How can I resolve? Thank you.

You can use below two step method 

 

Create a new column

 

Column = If(Table1[Date 2] = BLANK(),TODAY(),Table1[Date 2])

Then Date Difference you can calculate as below

DATEDIFF = DATEDIFF(Table1[Date 1],Table1[Column],DAY)
