Calculate the sum of a column based on a date

Hi, I'm trying to calculate the difference beetwen the sum of two columns from two tables based on a date in a new table

The variable suma_hoy is working perfectly, but the variable sum_pasada  is gives me the follow error: 

"DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type Date with values of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values."

I've checked the type of my column Seguimiento_fecha, and it seems to be correct:

Why am I getting that error? How should calculate that difference properly?

Try replace now() with today()

Hi Pumpikin,
In line 2 for the variable days_before, NOW() returns a date and time. Try using TODAY() that returns date only. 

The function FORMAT turns the value into a Text, so it cant be compared with a data.

try this for your days_before:

VAR days_before = TODAY() - 7

Hi Tutu, thanks for your help, but still not working.

The filter is no working properly, I think is because now() is retrieving as dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm:ss and the column in my table is dd/mm/yyyy so they are not matching. 

Try replace now() with today()
