Hi all,
I have a slight problem to solve. I am handling requests sent by our customers and want to calculate the duration of open requests.
I have "Status" column and and a column indicating the date of the sent request [Request sent at]. I would like to calculate the duration in days until today, when [Status]="Open". Requests with any other [Status], I would like to show "null".
I have tried many DAX expressions with columns and measures but nothing seems to work...
Can anyone provide me a simple code, which helps me to solve the problem?
Thenks,
Jere

Hello @jereaallikko
add a new column in Power Query with this formula
if _[Status]="Open" then Duration.TotalDays(Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())- [Request sent at]) else null
Here the complete example
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wcs7JL05NUdJRMjDUAyIjA6VYnWgl/4LUPJCYiZ6BKRYxCzQxQwM9IIKKIUy00DMwBovGAgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Status = _t, #"Request sent at" = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Status", type text}, {"Request sent at", type date}}, "de-DE"),
AddDurationOfOpenRequests = Table.AddColumn
(
#"Changed Type",
"Duration if open",
each if _[Status]="Open" then Duration.TotalDays(Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())- [Request sent at]) else null
)
in
AddDurationOfOpenRequests
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
