date difference open and closed date

It might be the friday syndrome, but i cannot seem to see how to calclulate the date difference between to rows

 

i have the following 

 

Case number | Type              | Date

123456          | Case closed   | 29-08-2017

123456          | Case created | 09-12-2016

 

 

The result should be 263 days to process this case

 

hope someone can help

thanks in advance

A measure like this will work in some circumstances - if you add case numbers and this measure in a table:

 

Days to Process =
VAR date_created = CALCULATE(MAX('Cases'[Date]), 'Cases'[Type]="Case created")
VAR date_closed = CALCULATE(MAX('Cases'[Date]), 'Cases'[Type]="Case closed")
RETURN DATEDIFF(date_created, date_closed,DAY)
//RETURN CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(DimDate), AND(DimDate[Date]>date_created, DimDate[Date]<date_closed), NOT(WEEKDAY(DimDate[Date]) in {1, 7}))

 

But the difference between those two dates is 351, the commented line is to exclude weekends, even that yields 250.
