What is a way to display the tenure of a person in the format of "X years, X months"? I was thinking of doing a simple DATEDIFF calculation between their hire date and today's date but from there I'm not sure how to get the DAX to simultaneously provide the number of years and months. Either year or months has to be selected when constructing that type of formula. Thanks!

hello @Anonymous,
Pretty much the same as @Anonymous...
Tenure Calculated Column =
VAR EndingDate =
IF(
Table3[termDate] = BLANK(),
TODAY(),
Table3[termDate]
)
VAR Yr = DATEDIFF(Table3[hireDate], EndingDate, YEAR)
VAR Mo = MOD(DATEDIFF(Table3[hireDate], EndingDate, MONTH),12)
VAR Tenure =
IF(
Yr > 0,
COMBINEVALUES(" ", Yr,"Years", Mo,"Months"),
COMBINEVALUES(" ", Mo,"Months")
)
RETURN Tenure

Hi Chris ! Thanks for this.
I used the this DAX formula for the tenure calculation in PowerBI. But it gives wrong calculation for the Year.
For example someone who joined in 25 March 2019. Ideally it should be 3 Years and 10 Months. DAX formula gives 04 Years and 10 Months. Can someone help me correcting this formula?
@N5 -
It looks like the answer isn't as easy as you might think. Take a look at DATEDIFF, YEARFRAC – DAX Guide - SQLBI and decided what is best for your use case.

Thank you @ChrisMendoza and @Anonymous ! Both work. Love having multiple ways to do things 🙂
You could so something like this. Calculate each piece separately.
For example,
Tenure Months
var years = text.from(datediff([start_Date],[enddate], year)) var months = text.from(datediff([start_Date],[enddate], month) - (datediff([start_Date],[enddate], year) *12)) years + " Years, " + months + " Months"
