Error message: The syntax for ')' is incorrect.

I'm following this tutorial step-by-step and I get the syntax error: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdUg8LfarCg&lc=UgxiYG9l4FEGSPPCHIZ4AaABAg.9ojUaHLyeGS9ol4f4SkqIS

Here's my code: 

PaddingLeft = 
VAR OverallStartDate1 = [OverallStartDate]
VAR StartDate =  
    CALCULATE ( 
        MIN ('Required Messaging Schedules'[Project Start Date]),
     REMOVEFILTERS (DateTable)
    )
VAR Result = 
    INT(StartDate - OverallStartDate1)
RETURN

I'm at a loss. I've rewatched the video three times.

You are returning your variable so if you had called your variable 'MyResult' instead of Result you would 

Return
MyResult

Glad you got it working.

You need to tell it what to return.

PaddingLeft = 
VAR OverallStartDate1 = [OverallStartDate]
VAR StartDate =  
    CALCULATE ( 
        MIN ('Required Messaging Schedules'[Project Start Date]),
     REMOVEFILTERS (DateTable)
    )
VAR Result = 
    INT(StartDate - OverallStartDate1)
RETURN
    Result

Oh my god...I came across a post that said to use Return_result and that didn't work. But I just tried your suggestion and BAM! Thank you!
