Hi,

Write this calculated column formula

Duration = 1*(if(Data[Status]="Completed",[Contruction date]-[Start date],today()-[Start date]))

Hope this helps.

You can try a DAX calculated column with this expression

 

Duration =
IF(
    Table[Status] = "Completed",
    INT( Table[Construction Date] - Table[Start Date] ),
    INT( TODAY() - Table[Start Date] )
)
