Create Calculated Column - Difference between two columns and exclude certain rows

I am trying to create a new column Days to review. 

 

Days to Review = Posting close date - Actual Date. 

 

Not sure how to perform this in DAX (I am new to Power BI) - I tried regular subtraction but it's giving me an error due to "N/A". 

Is there a way I can exclude "N/A" from calculations and perform the subtraction/difference.

Hi @P_B 

In Edit queries, change data type as "date",

the "N/A" field will become "error", 

Replace error with null

File->Close&&Apply

You could create a column

Hi @P_B ,

 

Try replacing N/As with Null or Blank or zero thru power query editor.

And then perform the subtraction logic..

 

Thanks,
