Issue with "DATESBETWEEN" on different years

Greetings, I use the following command in order to know calculate how many days there are between two dates:

 

DifferenceDays =

CALCULATE (

    SUM ( 'Date'[Laborable] ),

    DATESBETWEEN ('Date'[Date].[Date],DDBB[StartDate)]+0,DDBB[EndDate]    )

)

 

The problem I am having is that if the start date was on the end of 2020 and the end date is at the beginning of 2021, this counts the days without having into account the yeras, so I get a period of 300+ days instead of 10-20 days.

How could I fix this issue?

 

Thanks!

Regards,

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Can you describe SUM ( 'Date'[Laborable] ),? If you only calculate the time difference, please try to use DATEDIFF function.

 

Best Regards,

@Anonymous remove .[Date] after first parameter in the function.

 

Also why you are adding +0 in the 2nd parameter.


DifferenceDays =

CALCULATE (

    SUM ( 'Date'[Laborable] ),

    DATESBETWEEN ('Date'[Date],DDBB[StartDate)]+0,DDBB[EndDate]    )

)

Hi @parry2k !

 

Thanks for you reply, I have deleted the .[Date] but the issue is not solved, the count of days is still bigger than it should.

 

Regarding the "+0", I read somewhere it would cause the cases in which the amount of days i "0" to count as "0" instead of "null".

 

Thanks!

 

Regards,
