using datediff with filters

hi,

i have this formula, it gave me big numbers which i think because i used sum after (claculate) i dont want to sum it, but calculate function does not allow to continue with me using sum,count,min...

i need to calculate a date difference with a filter in a third coulumn, so the desiered coulumns give months numbers and the others give blank. still trying but posting this question in the meantime

 

No_of_months since opened1 = DATEDIFF ('EVS Account'[Date_Opened],CALCULATE(SUM('EVS Account'[Date_action_code1].[Date]),FILTER('EVS Account','EVS Account'[Action_Code]="P")),MONTH)

 

thanks alot

Hi @Ranahazim

I can reproduce your problem, i would suggest you to create a calculated column like this

Column = IF([Action_Code]="P",DATEDIFF([Date_Opened],[Date_action_code1],MONTH))

Or a measure

Measure = IF(MAX([Action_Code])="P",DATEDIFF(MAX([Date_Opened]),MAX([Date_action_code1]),MONTH))

Best Regards
