New Column Power Query

Hi, I am trying to create new column to show difference with days between two dates through Power Query but I am not getting expected results. I have 2 columns DOJ(Date of Joining) and DOL(Date of Leaving). If DOJ date column is blank then use Today's date minus DOL else DOJ minus DOL . I tried 2 different ways, 1) with Custom Column 2) Date calculate Age and then edited . They both are giving me same results.

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom", each if [DOJ New Joiner] = null then Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow())-[DOL] else [DOJ New Joiner] - [DOL])

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Age", each if [DOJ New Joiner] = null then Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) - [DOL] else [DOJ New Joiner]-[DOL])

@amol0512 , seem correct , Try like

Duration.Days(if [DOJ New Joiner] = null then Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) - [DOL] else [DOJ New Joiner]-[DOL])
