calculating the time difference between a direct querry column and a sharepoint list column

Hello, 

Sorry I am fairly new to Power BI. Here is my problem. I have a Power BI file for project management, which I have a direct query data source and a data source from a sharepoint list. I want to create a new column that calculates the project award length. There is a column in the direct query data source called 'Created Date' and another in the Sharepoint list 'DateWon'. Both data sources have a column for 'Project number', the direct query data source one is called 'ProjectCode' and the sharepoint list is called 'Title'. I think I have linked the two using these connections. 

 

I made sure both date columns are date formatted and have created a new column in the direct query datasource and attempted to subtract the two. However the following error occurs ' A single value for column 'DateWon' in table X cannot be determined.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

  • StickyToffeePud what is the relationship between these two tables? One to One or One To Many?

    If my solution proved useful, I'd be delighted to receive Kudos. When you put effort into asking a question, it's equally thoughtful to acknowledge and give Kudos to the individual who helped you solve the problem. It's a small gesture that shows appreciation and encouragement! ❤️

  • Hi, I believe it is one to one, the value in the shared column between the datasources will be unique in each data source. Each data source only has 1 row per project code.
