Days Remaining Calculation
Awesome. Actually needed a MIN not MAX, as I was trying to get a day count between today and end date. If end date is after today then 0.
= MIN ( 1 * ( Today ( ) - YourTable[EndDate] ) , 0)
Thanks - this was extremely helpful!

If [End Date] > Today ( ) Then 0 Else 1 * ( Today ( ) - YourTable[EndDate] ) is equivalent to
MAX ( 1 * ( Today ( ) - YourTable[EndDate] ) , 0)
or
- MIN ( 1 * ( YourTable[EndDate] - Today ( ) ) , 0 )
But not to:
MIN ( 1 * ( Today ( ) - YourTable[EndDate] ) , 0)

Why are you using Related function here ? Haven't mentioned it in my reply.
Sorry. Corrected by creating New Column.
Now I get a meesage that the start date cannot be greater than the end date. In the case of this data I have both a start date and an end date, and the dataset itself is aggregated by day.
Simply meaning that the dataset will have information from the past, present and future. End dats could be before Today, so I would have expected 0 Days Remaining. If the if I am between today and the end date, I would expect a day count remaining and lastly if the start date is greater than today, then a count of days between start date and end date.
Thanks again for the help.

Ok try this one which is more universal and covers the cases when your EndDate is superior to Today
= 1 * ( Today() - YourTable[EndDate] )
You can make the result absolute with Abs( ) if necessary.
If it solves your problem, please accept as a solution so everyone can benefit from our discussion !
OK Excel side. We're getting warmer, and this is awesome. However, using this solution when the end date is before today, it essentially begins couting days since the end date which ideally for my report would be 0.
i.e. if end date > today, then 0
Not sure how to incorporate that into your recommendation.
Thanks in advance.

Ok so you can use:
= MAX ( 1 * ( Today ( ) - YourTable[EndDate] ) , 0)
