Issue related to DAX function when creating a new column in a selected table

Hi Mates,
When I am trying to use the DATEDIFF function in the new column in a selected table then I am getting a value of 44778.

DAX Function in the column is:
Case3 = IF( 2021 <> 2022 && 2022 = 2022 ,DATEDIFF(Sheet1[STARTofYR],TODAY(),DAY), 0)
Quick Measures
[STARTofYR]  =  DATE(Sheet1[Selected Year],01,01)

[Selected Year] = SELECTEDVALUE(Calender[Date].[Year])


I am getting a value of 44778.

Hi, @Akash18 

Calling measure in a calculated column is not recommended.
Please convert 'Case3' into a new measure  and display its result in a card/table visual.

Hi!

Do you display values of this measures?

[STARTofYR]  =  DATE(Sheet1[Selected Year],01,01)

[Selected Year] = SELECTEDVALUE(Calender[Date].[Year])
