calculate employee position Duration

[HassanAli123]

Hi, i am posting this again.

i have a table and i want to calculate time period for a person's current position mean how much time he spent on the specific role. for example Amanda in 2015 was on ED portfolios role till 2019. the duration should be "3 year and 3 months" for ED portfolios position and for ED public services position it should be from 2019 to till 2022 currently, like this for all employee. how to achieve it in DAX.

Data types of columns
Employee Name :- Text
Effective_From :- Date
Current_position & Previous_position:- Text

@HassanAli123 ,
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

want to check why this did not work

New column =
var _min = minx(filter(Table, [Employee Name] = earlier([Employee Name]) && [Effective from] > earlier([Effective from])), [Effective from])
return
datediff([Effective from], coalesce(_min, today()), month)/12.0

Hi @amitchandak

Thanks again if you help me to get this format

@HassanAli123 , That will not add up 

New column =
var _min = minx(filter(Table, [Employee Name] = earlier([Employee Name]) && [Effective from] > earlier([Effective from])), [Effective from])

var _diff = datediff([Effective from], coalesce(_min, today()), month)
return Quotient(_diff ,12) & " Years " & Mod(_diff ,12)  & " Months"

it is throwing this error.
