Calculated Column Across 2 Data Tables

Hi All

 

I'm a complete Power Bi novice, so please excuse me if this is something ridiculously obvious.

 

I have connected Power Bi to my database via SQL Server as a direct query. I have then got 2 data tables containing various data, im only interested in calculating the difference in days between 2 date columns, 1 is in a table titled CONTACT and the other in CONTACT TABLE 1. Is there a simple way of doing this? I have looked at merging tables but i keep getting an error due to it being a direct query.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Nick
