    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 ) )

Donny620 did you look at pbix file with the solution, I used a different approach and you should follow the same.

Hi I did thank you, that's where I got the formula (I tweaked it) for the measure I copied below.  In your file I see a measure called "Trimmed Aging" (below) and I see a calculated column called "days in invnetory trimmed - fixed".  Because my data is just a bunch of SQL tables, or perhaps because of access issues, I cannot create any columns, only measures.  That's why I was hoping for a measure-only solution.  😞 Do you think this is possible?  Thanks again!
