datediff calculating milestone completion cycle time

Hello i have the following data and trying to calculate date difference in days between 2 different milestone completions

 

IdentiferMilestone CompletionCompletion date
AX1/1/2018
AY1/23/2018
BX1/8/2018
BY1/15/2018
CX1/10/2019
CY1/20/2019

 

My desired output is below

IdentiferDate Diff in Days
A22
B7
C10

 

I need to figure out how to write a DAX expression to give me my desired output table. Do i need to calculate a new table. I am thinking of needing to use DATEDIFF and GROUPBY but not sure if that is the right approach and looking for suggestions

Hi @nmeliasp

 

You may use ALLEXCEPT Function as below:

Measure = 
VAR MAX_Date =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table1[Completion date] ),
        ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Identifer])
    )
VAR MIN_Date =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN( Table1[Completion date] ),
        ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Identifer])
    )
RETURN
    DATEDIFF ( MIN_Date,MAX_Date, DAY )

Hi,

 

Drag Identifier to the row labels and use this measure

 

Date Diff in Days = MAX(Data[Completion_Date])-MIN(Data[Completion_Date])

Try this MEASURE..Drag Identifier and this MEASURE in a Table Visual

 

Measure =
VAR MilestoneY =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table1[Completion date] ),
        Table1[Milestone Completion] = "Y"
    )
VAR MilestoneX =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table1[Completion date] ),
        Table1[Milestone Completion] = "X"
    )
RETURN
    DATEDIFF ( MilestoneX, MilestoneY, DAY )

 

 

This doesnt seem to have worked. I dont see anything for this measure.
