I am able to use dateadd function but not the datediff function.

When using the dateadd function, I am able to select the column names from the drop down list. But when I am using the datediff fucntion, I am not seeing the dropdown list and am not able to select the column names. Please advise. Thank you. 

(Here are the screenshots for your reference.)

Hi Jihwan, 

 

Thank you for your reply. I have managed to work around it by using the average function. But I have also tried your "DATEDIFF ( SELECTEDVALUE( " suggestion and it works as well. Thank you!
