Hello i have the following data and trying to calculate date difference in days between 2 different milestone completions
| Identifer | Milestone Completion | Completion date |
| A | X | 1/1/2018 |
| A | Y | 1/23/2018 |
| B | X | 1/8/2018 |
| B | Y | 1/15/2018 |
| C | X | 1/10/2019 |
| C | Y | 1/20/2019 |
My desired output is below
| Identifer | Date Diff in Days |
| A | 22 |
| B | 7 |
| C | 10 |
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.
