DAX Beginner - How to get last date & no.of days

Hello, I am a beginner in DAX, need help with the below problem:

 

Goal is to achieve the last date & no.of field columns. Last date is nothing but the attendance date of that store employee that he worked and how many days has it been from today to his/her last date.

 

Remember: Store supervisor, store employee# are in one dimension and date is coming from another calendar dimension table.

In which table is it best to create dax for this ??

 

 Expected results should be like this:

Last Date        No.of days
10-Jun-2020     926 days
15-Jun-2020     921 days

 

Below is the sample data:

Store SupervisorStore EmployeeEmployee#Attendance DateLast dateno.of days= last date to today

BradenBrad342519-Jan-20  
BradenBrad342510-Jun-2010-Jun-2020        926 days

Hi,

I do not know how your datamodel looks like, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I hope the below can provide some ideas on how to create a solution for your datamodel.

Last date measure: = 
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( Employee[Store Employee] ),
    MAXX ( RELATEDTABLE ( Data ), Data[Attendance Date] )
)

 

 

Number of days measure: =
IF (
    NOT ISBLANK ( [Last date measure:] ),
    INT ( TODAY () - [Last date measure:] )
)

Note : You can use

datediff(FirstDate(table[Date]),'LastDate'[Last date],DAY)
