Hi @navneet0512 
Try this DAX for calculated column :

Actual Cycle Time = if(ISBLANK('Table'[ship date])||ISBLANK('Table'[recieved date]),BLANK(),DATEDIFF('Table'[recieved date],'Table'[ship date],DAY))
Unfortunately, I am out of the limit of pictures that I can attach to the discussions, so I created a file with an example:

Hi @navneet0512  you can replace the order of the parameters of the formula.
Just note that in your example start day is after the end day ...so the result will be (-197)

want to subtract order recieved date from actual ship date means [actual shipdate - order recieved date]
