    Donny620 you can add a measure like this:

     

     

    Trimmed Aging = 
VAR __Date1 = COALESCE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Date1] ), Table[Date2] )
VAR __Date2 = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Date2] )
VAR __Diff = DATEDIFF ( __Date1, __Date2, DAYS )
RETURN
IF ( __Diff < 5, 5, IF ( __Diff > 540, 540, __Diff ) )

Hi thank you!  I'm having trouble recreating that formula, when I get to 

SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Date1] ), Table[Date2] )

It won't let me select the second date2 column.  I mean I can put in Date1 fine but when I try to put in Date2 it will only let me put calculations (measures?) and won't let me insert any real column.  

Is this a limation of the SelectedValue function?  Any ideas, does this make sense?
