I have one column with Date of Incident, which is a Date/Time format (01/01/2017 08:00:00), and also a Date of Creation column, which is also the same format as the Date of Incident column.
We have a SLA to create the ticket in our system within 72 hours of it happening, and so need a metric to display those users who do not comply.
When I try to subtract the created date away from the incident date, I get an unexpected result.
New Custom Column displays -01:49:08.4915213
Can anybody tell me if I'm doing something wrong here?
Data is UK Date Format (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss).
Many thanks,
Gary
Solved! Go to Solution.
I can see it is done in power query, may be best is to use dax datediff function

Well, in Power Query you should get a result back of I believe Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds. This all works for me here:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtQ31DcyMLRQsLAyMAAiBUdfJR2EqCVCNFaHGNVGJKk2sTKFqI4FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type datetime}, {"Column2", type datetime}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each [Column2]-[Column1]) in #"Added Custom"
But, my stuff is all in US. Now, when this gets to DAX I end up getting values like 0.0461666666, 0.043055555, 0.450231481... which is exactly what I get if I do a ([Column2]-[Column1])*1.0 in DAX. There are ways to convert this to something useful but DATEDIFF is going to be your safest bet.
Are you trying to do this in Power Query or DAX?

Hi Greg,
The image shows me adding a Custom Column in Edit Quieries.
But I have attempted to add column in DAX with also no joy.
Kind regards,
Gary
