ABS function in Power Query column or in measure

Hi All,

 

I need to use the ABS function in Power BI.

 

 

SUM(ABS(ENTERED_DATE-CLOSED_DATE)/30)

 

How can I achieve this in Power BI??

 

 

Thanks,

 

Narender

@Narender Please try adding as "Calculated Column" as below

 

Diff = ABS(DATEDIFF(TestABS[EnteredDate],TestABS[ClosedDate],DAY))

Then you can have a measure to calculate SUM of Diff

 

Total =  SUM(TestABS[Diff])

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your feedback

 

It is giving me right result.

 

Can you please round it with 2 decimal points in same ABS formula?

 

 

 

Thanks
