Show how many days till future due date

I need a new column or measure to show how many days till the "Next Appt Due".  My data has a lot of PPI so I'm providing an example.  Table name is V_TR_Dental_Medical.  I need to show how many days till the Next App Due for every client.

@inglexjc ,
Just change the sequence of TODAY() and [NEXT_APPT_DUE_DATE].
So your new calculated would be below:

Days till next appt due = DATEDIFF(TODAY(), [NEXT_APPT_DUE_DATE], DAY)

@inglexjc ,
You can directly conditionally format in the visualization.
Just in case you want a calculated column with negative numbers shown in red, here it is:

Color = IF([Days till next appt due] < 0, "#FF0000","#000000") 

 

You will need to conditionally format using this field.

@anadad24  next part of this is I want to have the negative numbers (late date) to show in red.  I'm trying to create a measure to show a status of LATE.  Then I can create the conditional formating. Can you see what I'm doing wrong with my code?

 

Status =
VAR TodayDate = TODAY()
VAR NEXT_APPT_DUE_DATE = 'V_TR_Dental_Medical'[NEXT_APPT_DUE_DATE]
VAR Days till next appt due = TodayDate - NEXT_APPT_DUE_DATE
RETURN
IF(
Days till next appt due >= -1,
"Late")

Hi @inglexjc ,
Create a new calculated column with below DAX:

Days till next appt due = DATEDIFF([NEXT_APPT_DUE_DATE], TODAY(),DAY)

@Anand24 it kind of worked.  Is there a way so the numbers aren't negative?

wrap the measure in an ABS() function
