"The visual object cannot be displayed" formula to complex?

Hi everyone I am trying to add a calculated field, but I have an error called "The visual object cannot be displayed", the problem is that I can more column with simpler calculations. 

 

The formula used is 

 

DayAssignmentToday = DATEDIFF( 'public account'[assigned_manager_date],TODAY(),DAY) 

 

And I have the following message (I made the translation to English]

I already checked the field has the data type date.

Hi @amitchandak I was trying to find another solution but still, I am having the same issue. Basically I generated three new columns called

 

 

assigned_manager_date_YEAR = YEAR('public account'[assigned_manager_date])
assigned_manager_date_MONTH = MONTH('public account'[assigned_manager_date])
assigned_manager_date_DAY = DAY('public account'[assigned_manager_date])

Then I made a date column 

 

assigned_manager_date_DATE = DATE('public account'[assigned_manager_date_YEAR],'public account'[assigned_manager_date_MONTH],'public account'[assigned_manager_date_DAY])

but that column is already corrupted

Hence the final column is as well corrupted 

 

DayAssignmentToday = DATEDIFF( 'public account'[assigned_manager_date_DATE],TODAY(),DAY)

I have to hide some information

Thank you
