DATEDIFF help. - Cannot read date field at all.

Hello All, 

 

This is my first try of Power BI,  trying to figure out many new things, and get stuck with calcuating the datediff field. 

 

The issue is that it won't read my date field automatcially from the table, and I checked the field "ASOFDATE"  and "DUEDATE" are both the date type.  so I manually entered  the two but recived the below warning message.     ( I watched  some introduction vedio online, in theroy, the field options will pop up when entering the formula, but I don't see any option... )..

 

Anything critical I am missing here?  Any help is apperciated.  

Thank you,

Flora

HI @Anonymous,

 

It will be help if you share some detail content about your issue. For example: screenshots, formula, sample data...

Can you post the error message you were receiving, the DAX calculation you are attempting, as well as a sample of how the data is structured in the table?  Without this, there's not much anyone can do to help.
