Use a date value to transform an integer - cannot convert value 'September' of type Text to type Int

Hi all, i am new to PowerBI.
I receive a date value from our database as well as an integer (number of days to deadline).
The problem is, that this value is always positiv, also when the deadline is missed.
So i want to use the date value to transform the daysToDeadline value into a negativ value when the date is lower than today.
I have tried the way excel does this, but this won't work.

Here is my code::

 

anpVerzug = IF(AND(DATE(qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Starttermin_Plan].[Jahr],qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Starttermin_Plan].[Monat],qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Starttermin_Plan].[Tag]) < TODAY(), NOT ISBLANK(qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Starttermin_Plan])), qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Verzug] * -1, qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Verzug])

 

Starttermin_Plan is the date
Verzug is the number of days to deadline.

How can i solve this?

I think you can simplify the date comparison and it will reduce to this:

anpVerzug = IF(AND(qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Starttermin_Plan] < TODAY(), NOT ISBLANK(qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Starttermin_Plan])), qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Verzug] * -1, qryAuftraegeAnDisplays[Verzug])

I haven't tested it, try it out
