    Hi gianmarco ,

     

    According to your description, the date difference between two different tables is required to satisfy some specific conditions (inter-table relationship, date type, etc.). Otherwise dax's calculation logic cannot know which two date differences need to be calculated. The best solution is to use the datadiff function to create a calculated column. refer to the following test results.

    Col_diff = DATEDIFF(date_A[Date],RELATED(date_B[Date]),DAY)

     

    Or you can try amitchandak  blog link, which is also a good reference


    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and test data. Looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
    Henry
