Hi @GhadaMehrez ,

 

Answer for 1: you can format  "End Date" by format() function

Format_Enddate =
FORMAT ( 'Table'[End Date], "dd-mmm-yyyy" )

Differ_to_Today =
VAR cur_date =
    TODAY ()
VAR cur_enddate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Format_Enddate] )
RETURN
    DATEDIFF ( cur_enddate, cur_date, MONTH )

Answer for 2: I guess your Y Axis field may sum by default, please try to select "Don't summarize"

Perfect but some issues as:

2- in the dashboard still does not appear I don't know thy reason.

A measure like

Sumx(Table, Datediff([End Date], Today(), Day())

 

or

 

AverageX(Table, Datediff([End Date], Today(), Day())

I adjusted it as follows but still, nothing appear in the dashboard also due end date not as -number

 

# of Months = SUMX(IncrementalImprovement, Datediff([fls_ActualEndDate], TODAY(), DAY)
