Hi,
I have two columns effective from and current position. i want to compute a colum of duration which will let us know the duration of a person designation. for example the duration of "assistant manager" will be 2 year and duration of "head" will be 8 years and 2 months. how can we find it through DAX.
Thnaks in advance

Hi @HassanAli123 ,
You can use DATEDIFF function here.
Eg - Result_for_years = DATEDIFF(effective_form, Today(), Year)
(for first row, this will return no. of years between 01/01/2012 to today's date)
Result_for_months = DATEDIFF(effective_form, Today(), Month)
(for first row, this will return no. of months between 01/01/2012 to today's date)
Result_for_days = DATEDIFF(effective_form, Today(), Day)
(for first row, this will return no. of days between 01/01/2012 to today's date)
@HassanAli123 -> Please mark this as a solution if it helps you. Thank you.
