We cannot apply operator - to types Function and Date

Hi all...

 

I am trying to find the difference, in days, from today's date and a Report date. If the difference is greater than or equal to 60 days, produce a 1, else a 0. I am receiving a "We cannot apply operator - to types Function and Date" error with the expression below. The data type for Report Date is date, and I'm thinking the error has something to do with trying to compare a date/time field with a date field.

each if Duration.Days(DateTime.LocalNow - [Report Date]) >= 60 then 1 else 0

 

Kudos to anyone who can assist here.

Great. Thank you! Looks like that converts the DateTime format to date at which point it can be compared to my Report Date column.
