VALUE or FORMAT error with the same Data Types Help please

Can anyone please help, this is driving me mad

 

I have a measure as below, and I'm getting the 'Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT' error

 

I've triple checkled and all data types are dates

 

Measure =
COALESCE(CALCULATE(COUNTA('Table1'[record_id]) ,NOT(ISBLANK('Table1'[date_closed])),
 'Table 1'[record_id] <= 'Table1[due_date])
 /
CALCULATE(COUNTA('Table1'[record_id]) ,NOT(ISBLANK('Table1'[date_closed]))), "N/A")
 
Does anyone know why?
 
Thank you for any help
