Hi @Faith_Data 
Here you go https://we.tl/t-Mrey2dTPxa

First of all make sure the have the mileage column as intiger data type. 

 

 

Mileage diff measure - Tamer = 
SUMX ( 
    VALUES ( 'PM Data'[REG NO] ),
    CALCULATE (
        VAR LastTwoDatesTable = TOPN ( 2,'PM Data', 'PM Data'[LAST SERVICE], DESC )
        VAR Last_Date = MAXX ( LastTwoDatesTable, 'PM Data'[LAST SERVICE] )
        VAR Last_2ndDate = MINX ( LastTwoDatesTable, 'PM Data'[LAST SERVICE] )
        VAR Last_DateMileage = MAXX ( FILTER ( LastTwoDatesTable, 'PM Data'[LAST SERVICE] = Last_Date ), 'PM Data'[LAST MILEAGE] )
        VAR Last_2ndDateMileage = MAXX ( FILTER ( LastTwoDatesTable, 'PM Data'[LAST SERVICE] = Last_2ndDate ), 'PM Data'[LAST MILEAGE] )
        RETURN
            IF ( 
                COUNTROWS ( LastTwoDatesTable ) >= 2,
                Last_DateMileage - Last_2ndDateMileage
            )
    )
