    Hi Anonymous ,

    What you are trying to create is a calculated column? If what you created is a calculated column, it will not change according to the user interaction(slicer, filter, column selections etc.) in the report as the value of a calculated column is computed during data refresh and uses the current row as a context... Please review the following links about the difference of calculated column and measure...

    Calculated Columns and Measures in DAX

    Calculated Columns vs Measures

     

    I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

    1. Create a slicer using [Date] field of 'Calendar' table

    2. Create a measure as below to get the dynamic Difference Days by the filter/slicer...

    Difference Days to Overdue = 
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Progress] ) = "Finished",
        BLANK (),
        DATEDIFF (
            SELECTEDVALUE ('Table'[Due Date (DD/MM/YYYY)] ),
            MIN ( 'Calendar'[Date] ),
            DAY
        )
    )

    Best Regards
