Dax Query or Custom Column for Two dates with today

I have CreatedDate & Updated Date in my database so now i wnat to get the no of days it has been sitting in the current state from Updated date to today and if updateddate is NULL then i should use CreatedDay to Today in single column or Dax query .

 

I created custom column and Dax query but with only one column UPdated date Duration.TotalDays([Today] - [UpdatedDate])

but i need if it updateddate is null then use createddate

  • Hi dbollini 

    In PQ, create a custom column:

    = if [UpdatedDate] = null then  Duration.TotalDays([Today] - [CreatedDate]) else Duration.TotalDays([Today] - [UpdatedDate])
