NETWORKDAYS between two tables containing duplicate OrderIDs

I have a DATEDIFF calculated column that gives me the datediff between two tables and it has two flaws that I would like to solve with a NETWORKDAYS solution, if possible..

 

Diff Days *History* = 
    DATEDIFF (
            MAXX ( RELATEDTABLE ( MANUFACTURING_ORDERS_HISTORY ), MANUFACTURING_ORDERS_HISTORY[Due Date *History*] ),
            ITEM_TRANSACTION_HISTORY_SUM[Date],
            DAY
)

 

 

In my MANUFACTURING_ORDER_HISTORY there are duplicate OrderIDs, since we only have a set numer of possible OrderIDs. I.E OrderIDs will turn up again in 2-3 years and be put in the _HISTORY table. 


In order to visualize each unique Order I'm combining OrderID with "Item Nr".

Problem 1: I need a NETWORKDAYS instead of Datediff

Problem 2:  The inclusion of MAXX  in the DATEDIFF-column makes it so that the datediff does not evaluate all possible dates, rather than only the highest. I would prefer all dates in my [Due Date *History*] to be evaluated, row by row. Exchanging MAXX with ALL didn´t work though for example.
See below picture for my problem, highlighted a row where the OrderID is the same but the Item Nr isn´t = shouldn´t be evaluated preferably (?) in yellow and where it should, in green.

Hi, @Fredde86 
Based on your information, I created sample tables:

vyohuamsft_1-1732849899936.png

Then create a new measure, try the following DAX expression:

Diff Days *History* = 
    SUMX (
        FILTER (
            MANUFACTURING_ORDERS_HISTORY,
            MANUFACTURING_ORDERS_HISTORY[OrderID] = MAX(ITEM_TRANSACTION_HISTORY_SUM[OrderID]) &&
            MANUFACTURING_ORDERS_HISTORY[Item Nr] = MAX(ITEM_TRANSACTION_HISTORY_SUM[Item Nr])
        ),
        NETWORKDAYS (
            MANUFACTURING_ORDERS_HISTORY[Due Date History],
            MAX(ITEM_TRANSACTION_HISTORY_SUM[Date])
        )
    )

Put it in table visual, here is my preview:

Hi, @Anonymous 
Thank you for your answer!

However, I don´t get any values when I create your measure and put it into a table. 
Could it have something to do with my relationships beeing many-to-many between these tables? (OrderId-OrderId)
Thankful for any assistance!

Hi, @Fredde86 

I didn't give them a relationship.

When I try to give them a many-to-many relationship, I also get a blank.

You may be able to try deleting the relationship
