Days Between Dates- DAX and Column

Hello, 

 

Looking to get days between dates, my current issues is that one date is a measure and the other is a column so struggling to find the correct way to do it.  I have included a screen shot of my Report page so far, 

 

so the Date_Selected card is a dax formuler 

 

Date_Selected = CALCULATE(MAX('Transaction Line Item'[CreatedDate]),ALLSELECTED('Transaction Line Item'))

 

This returns the date selected in the slicer to the left of it. 

 

I then want to add a column at the end of the table which figures out the age in days so the formular should be

 

Doc Age = Date_Selected - Document.c2g_DueDate__c  

 

The issue I have is that this returns another date where I need it to return a number,

Any help is appriciated. 

 

Thanks

Should be able to use:

 

Doc Age = ([Date_Selected] - MAX([Document.c2g_DueDate__c])) * 1.

 

This would be a measure. Since you refer to a column, you have to wrap it in an aggregation like MIN, MAX, SUM, etc.
