Card Visual to display number of months from date range slicer

Hello,

 

I am trying to write a measure that will display the total number of months between the two dates in my date range slicer. How do I refer to the slicer itself? Or if there is a better way do this, please let me know. 

 

Thank you so much in advance.

@Ahmedelshark , Create a new measure

diff between selected range =
var _max = maxx(allselected('Date'),'Date'[Date])
var _min = minx(allselected('Date'),'Date'[Date])
return
datediff(_min, _max, month)
