Difference between two dates

m.PNGCapture.PNG

Hello good people, now I am reading "Definitive Guide to dax - Alberto Ferrari". The first image shows the the days between delivery dates and order dates. The 2nd image is the practice file done by me and what you can see is the negative differences. I am working with the same data been used in this book but it's not working for me It's been 3 days I am trying everything to  get the accurate result, but I failed. I can't understand what the fault is in tha dataset. For your help, I've provided the file to go it over.
