Trying to figure out the error

Hello, 

Trying to figure out this error

 

Trying to figure out days between current date and request date for items that do not have a finish date, getting an expression error We cannot apply field access to the type Function.
Details:
Value=[Function]
Key=Current Date

 

This is my current expression

if [#"Finish Date #(lf)"]= null then Duration.Days[Current Date]-[Request Date] else 0

 

Thanks in Advance

Hi @Brash1 ,

 

Try something like this:

if [#"Finish Date #(lf)"] = null
then Duration.Days(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) - [Request Date])
else 0
