    Hi richrich123 ,

     

    According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

    (1) This is my test data.  

    (2) We can create a measure.

    Older than 2 days = 
IF(DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE('Case'[lastcustomerupdate]),TODAY(),DAY)>2,1,0)

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

    Best Regards,

    Neeko Tang

Idrissshatila , hi and thanks for the suggestion. I have tried swapping today() to before my selected date but it then is only offering me to compare to measures in the case data and not my selected date? All those in the drop down are measures only and don't contain any fields e.g my lastupdated filed.

        Try it like this

        Older than 2 days = IF( DATEDIFF(TODAY(), SELECTEDVALUE('Case'[lastcustomerupdate].[Date]),DAY) > 2,1,0)
