Variable date for datediff

Hi good morning, I'm trying to make a column where using a date selected from another table from the Report view pane.

Right now I have this:

IF(
'Total Tickets'[Request Status] IN {"Open", "Ongoing", "On hold", "Standby Provider", "On Standby User", "Postponed", "Resolved"},
IF(
'Total Tickets'[End Date] IN {BLANK()},
DATEDIFF(
'Total Tickets'[Date created],
-------------
HOUR
),
BLANK()
)
)


Where I have the dashes in the datediff is where I need to put the variable date that I can select from the report view.

If I need any more information to be able to help, I can provide it.
