DATEDIFF between two dates or if one date isn't given DATEDIFF between one date and today

I am creating a new column to identify the cycle time for projects.

I want to create a formula so that I datediff from the start date to the complete date and if there is not a complete date (complete date is blank) I want to datediff from the start date to today.  Thank you for your help.

@lynnzrae Here the calculated column:

Project Cycle Time_BBF =
IF(
    ISBLANK('Table'[Project Complete Date]),
    DATEDIFF('Table'[Project Start Date], TODAY(), DAY),
    DATEDIFF('Table'[Project Start Date], 'Table'[Project Complete Date], DAY)
)
output:
