Days since 1900 Formula

I know that in Excel there is a function that turns a date into the whole number equivalent of days since 1900. Is there a way to do this in Power BI? I appreciate any help.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

In addition to az38's reply. VALUE(Date) is computing date from 12/30/1899. So you should use VALUE(Date)+2 .
