Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try this code to create a measure.

 

Datediff =
DATEDIFF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'TableName'[Netflix Release Date] ),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'TableName'[Release Date] ),
    DAY
)

 

It will work after you add this measure into a visual.

@Anonymous Try:

Column = ( [Netflix Release Date] - [Release Date] ) * 1.

Or you can use DATEDIFF

I need it as a measure m

Hi @Anonymous 

a bit unusual to have a measure in such cases.

How would you like to use/present the expected visual?
