Caluate days between days witha including a today variable

Hello,

 

Need help with a formula for a measure please.

My data has two date columns, Start Date, Closed Date.

The start date allways has a date in it

The closed date will not have a date in it untill the data sourse is updated with a closed date.

 

So if there is no closed data what I would like for the measure to do is calucate the number of days between Start and Today for each row of data once there is a date entered in the field I would like to caluate the number of days between Start and Closed.

 

Baiscally trying to create a visual that shows number of records that have or are still exceeding a 28 day target 

 

Thanks for any help

    AzJackson add a new column using the following logic

     

    Number of Days = DATEDIFF ( Table[Start Date], COALEASCE ( Table[End Date], TODAY () ), DAY )

    DATEDIFF([Start Date],IF(ISBLANK(Closed Date) = TRUE(),NOW(),[Closed Date]),DAY)

     

    Try this.

     

    It's saying "Get the date difference in days between start date and closed date, if the closed date is blank, use today's date".

    Let me know if this works. Kind regards.

      Create a calculated column using this, not a measure by the way. Good luck!
