Hi, I need help with either adding a custom column in Power Query or adding a Dax measure in Power BI to tell me a date variance between two tasks.
The projects all have many tasks. From all the tasks, I want to be able to compare the variance in start date between two specific tasks. This means I need to look within the Task Name column for each project and compare the start dates for "Target Mobilization" and "Current Mobilization." I have made many false starts on this and would appreciate some guidance!!
Thanks,
Kirstin
