Calculating Age [Direct Query]

‎03-22-2018 06:48 AM

I'm trying to calculate the age of events but using direct query is very different than the reports I've done from spreadsheets in the past. Can someone help me please?

 

I have Task_Created_Date which shows the date format as xx/xx/xxxx

Hi @johnbradbury,

 

Are you referring to Power Query instead of Direct Query? 

Calculating age can be achieved by using creating a calculated column in DAX.

DATEDIFF( start date, end date, interval)

Hi there,

no, specifically direct query. I'm pulling data from a live database.

Have you tried creating a custom column that subtracts the start from end date?

That will not work with Direct Query?

I'm not sure I know how to be honest, could you point me in the right direction?
