I use the following measure to calculate date difference what I am trying to do is then count how many are <=60 The measure works perfectly, I am looking to add cards to visual that will count how many are <=60 days remaining. 

DaysLeft = 

VAR PlannedComplete = [Planned Complete]

RETURN

SWITCH(

TRUE,

DATEVALUE(E1Data[Planned Complete]) < TODAY(), 0,

DATEVALUE(E1Data[Planned Complete]) >= TODAY(), DateDiff(Today(), DATEVALUE(E1Data[Planned Complete]), DAY))

I use the following DAX to count DaysLeft less than 60 days:

CountDays60 = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'), FILTER('Table', [DaysLeft] <= 60))

Here are the results:

I've provided the PBIX file used this time below.
