    Hi Collazo ,

     

    I suggest you to create date tables by CALENDAR() or CALENDARAUTO() function.

    Date 1 = 
CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[Output date]),MAX('Table'[Output date]))
    Date 2 = 
CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[Output date]),MAX('Table'[Output date]))

    Create unactive relationship between two date tables and your fact table.

    Measure 1 = 
CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Project Name]),USERELATIONSHIP('Date 1'[Date],'Table'[Output date]))
    Measure 2 = 
CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Project Name]),USERELATIONSHIP('Date 2'[Date],'Table'[Output date]))
    Diff = 
ABS([Measure 1] - [Measure 2])

    Result is as below.

    Best Regards,
    Rico Zhou
