    I Think you need MEASURES, not COLUMNS.

    I have tried to replicate your scenario using data1 and data2 as dates, calculate 2 differente DATEDIFF and then a "FINAL" measure with an IF. Not super-elegant but it seems to be working

    www.autodafe.net/tmp/EXAMPLE.pbix

    1st I Calculate (Measure) End of Selected Month:

    EOM = EOMONTH(SELECTEDVALUE(Cal[Date]);0)
     
    then I have 2 differente DATEDIFFs
    DDIFF1 =DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE(Foglio1[data1]);[EOM];DAY)
DDIFF2 = DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE(Foglio1[data1]);SELECTEDVALUE(Foglio1[data2]);DAY)
     
     
    Then a simple IF takes what's needed:
    Final = IF(ISBLANK([DDIFF2]); [DDIFF1];[DDIFF2])

so the question is???
your formula looks correct. Are you creating a new COLUMN or new MEASURE ??

Hi autodafe , 

 

It's a column. 

Here's the result: 

.

 

as you can see it does not calculate until the end of the selected month (Date_Demande) - FP#00057

Can you help?
