Calculated Column Get Days Between Max Date And Date

[tecumseh]

Hi,

Using PBID (March, 2024)

I created a measure to get max date from a column - works as expected
I added a calculated column to compare the measure to the order date in each row - but this is returning zero

Days From Max Date =
DATEDIFF( Data[Date], [Max Date], DAY )

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Thanks @amitchandak 

I need a calculated column. My end goal is to have something I can filter for <= 6 (0 - 6) Or the most recent 7 days. Today function seems to be problematic when refreshing in the Service not returning expected results due to time zones etc....

Thanks,

Hi @tecumseh ,

I create a table as you mentioned.

Then I create a calculated column named MaxDate.

MaxDate = MAX('Table'[Date])

Also I create another calculated column.

Column = DATEDIFF('Table'[Date],'Table'[MaxDate],DAY)

I think the reason you're getting 0 should be that you're using Measure when calculating the max dates, so it's returning the maximum value for each row of dates, which is going to give you 0 when subtracted, but you can avoid that if you use a calculated column.

@tecumseh , if you are trying to create a column when Max Date is Measure. You can not use a measure or slicer value in a column

Create a measure like

Averagex(data,DATEDIFF( Data[Date], [Max Date], DAY ))
