Multiple differences between values ​​in the same column

I need to calculate the difference between dates in the same column. For example:

FieldInputDate
P1Enzow2024/01/24
P1Plut2024/02/25
P1Plut2024/02/19
P1Plut2024/02/10
P1Enzow2024/01/20
P2Plut2024/02/10
P2Enzow2024/01/20
P2Enzow2024/01/12
P2Enzow2024/01/10


I need to create a column that calculates the difference between the current date and the previous date in days, based on the Field and Input column. The final table would look something like this:

FieldInputDate Difference
P1Enzow2024/01/24 4
P1Plut2024/02/25 6
P1Plut2024/02/19 9
P1Plut2024/02/10 
P1Enzow2024/01/20 
P2Plut2024/02/10 
P2Enzow2024/01/20 8
P2Enzow2024/01/12 2
P2Enzow2024/01/10 


If there is no previous date, there should not be a value.

hello @jobf 

 

please check if this accomodate your need.

Difference =
var _MinDate = MINX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Field]=EARLIER('Table'[Field])&&'Table'[Input]=EARLIER('Table'[Input])),'Table'[Date])
var _PreviousDate =
CALCULATE(
    MAX('Table'[Date]),
    ALL('Table'),
    OFFSET(-1,ORDERBY('Table'[Date]),PARTITIONBY('Table'[Field],'Table'[Input]))
)
Return
IF(
    'Table'[Date]=_MinDate,
    BLANK(),
    'Table'[Date]-_PreviousDate
)

Thank you.

Is there a way to put a zero in place of this empty space in earliest dates?

hello @jobf 

 

use 0 instead of BLANK for true value in if statement.
