replace a null date with a date in the same record

Hey all -

 

I don't if this is simple or not.  I am trying to calculate days between the two dates in the same record.  Some dates in the first column are null and DATEDIFF does not like this.  I would like to replace the second date with the first if the first is null.  

 

If somebody could give me some direction, that would be awesome.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Something like this?

 

Days = IF(ISBLANK([Date]),DATEDIFF([EndDate],[EndDate],DAY),DATEDIFF([Date],[EndDate],DAY))

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thank you - I have got to tinker with formula but will get back with this post next week.
