    Hi MarcelBeug, 

     

    Thanks for providing a solution, it worked like expected.

     

    In the meantime I also figured on a DAX solution although I had to merge my columns to a Date/Time column. After transforming my columns to 2 date/time columns I used this DAX formula. I'll also leave it behind for other people that might seek for a DAX solution.

     

    Column = DATEDIFF(Table1[X.dt];Table1[Y.dt];SECOND)

    Thanks for helping!

     

    Best Regards,

    L.Meijdam
