An argument of function 'DATE' has the wrong data type or the result is too large or too small.

I have a measure which takes max date from a table and then works out different time intelligence.  It was working fine and ti started giving error.

If I change var Tdy = Today() it works, but it is not accepting Today() -1.  I need the last tdate from the table to be the base or I need a calculation to be applied to Today

 

Any help is appreciated

This maybe useful for someone, I finally managed the figure out the problem.  The error was happening downstream the code and it was due to a calculation Date(Year(RptDate), Month(RptDate), Day(RptDate)-28)..Strongly recommend do not deduct days like this, as based on the current date eg it was 28th Nov today, the day return 0 causing the error.  

 

Its difficult to trouble shoot as Dax does not highlight the row where the error occurs.
