Calculate time between 2 dates

All, all, all, all,
I have several date/time columns. Start_date, Mid_date, End date. In power query I want to calculate how much time there is between e.g. Start_date& Mid_date, Mid_date & end_date.
I thought the best way to do this was to use several extra columns in Power Query.
How do I do that?
Or do I do this better through a measure in PowerBi (DAX)?

Hi @Foolke 

 

Can you create a data sample?

Yes, the easiest way would be to add extra columns in PQ.
