Measure to find oldest Project by subtracting oldest project and today

I have a table that looks like the one below. Each entry is a single project. 

Client NameProject Entry DateProject Completed DateAgeing in DaysProject Status
Client A22/01/201901/04/201969 daysCompleted
Client B13/07/2020  Ongoing
Client C17/06/202119/092021103 daysCompleted
Client D21/09/202129/09/20218 daysCompleted
Client E23/10/202106/01/202274 daysCompleted
CLient F27/01/2022  Ongoing

So I want to get the number of days of an ongoing project that has stayed the most. That project would probably be the one for Client B since it does not have a completed date and is the earliest. 

I am thinking Datediff would work with and then get a value of the highest using RankX , DENSE. I want to display that number of days on a card. Any assistance is highly appreciated.

Oldest project = 
VAR __Date = CALCULATE (
    MIN ( 'Table'[Entry Date] ),
    FILTER (
        'table',
        'table'[Status] <> "completed"
            && 'table'[Status] <> "removed"
            && 'table'[Status] <> "cancelled"
    )
)
RETURN
    
    DATEDIFF( __Date, TODAY(), DAY)

How about this:

Oldest =
VAR __Days =
    MAXX (
        'Table',
        IF (
            ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Completed Date] ),
            DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[Entry Date], TODAY (), DAY ),
            DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[Entry Date], 'Table'[Completed Date], DAY )
        )
    )
RETURN
    __Days

Thanks for this. However, it is somewhat not correct from my side's explanation. I have been able to extract a date with the oldest date of an ongoing project. The formula used is as follows. 

 

Oldest project =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( 'table'[entry_date] ),
    FILTER (
        'table',
        'table'[Status] <> "completed"
            && 'table'[Status] <> "removed"
            && 'table'[Status] <> "cancelled"
    )
)

 

how can I subtract this date from today's Date using Today()? @Adescrit

In my answer, it returns a blank. Not sure why. Thanks, though
