Get thet coresponding month value for last time accident happened

I am working on a dataset having accidents data for 5 Years, 

I want to retrieve the last time an accident happened, which was 1 accident and it was March 2016, then i will calculate the days since that date.  I want to show it on a Card 

 

Date of Last AccidentMarch 2016
Days since last Accidents2,344

 

I am not sure how the measure formula would be 

Appreciate your assistance or advice

Hi @Oelshamy ,

 

Please try this measure.

Measure = 
VAR _lastdate = MAX('HSE'[Date])
VAR _month = FORMAT(_lastdate,"MMMM YYYY")
VAR _days = DATEDIFF(_lastdate,TODAY(),DAY)
VAR _result = "Date of Last Accident " & _month & UNICHAR(10) & "Days since last Accidents " & _days & " days."
RETURN
_result

Hi @ValtteriN , 

I am not getting the same values when applying the values: 

 
Days = CALCULATE(DATEDIFF(Max(HSE[Lost Time Cases]),Today(),Day), All(HSE[Lost Time Cases ])) it shows 44500 days 
or
Days CALCULATE(DATEDIFF(Max(HSE[Date]),Today(),Day), All(HSE[Lost Time Cases ])) it shows 828
 
 
I am not sure what's wrong ... Also do you have the formula that gets the Value ( March 2016 )

Thank you for your response, @ValtteriN  
What about getting the correspondent value that shows March 2016 as last time the accident happened, 

I am trying the below formula 

 

Last Occurence = LASTNONBLANKvalue(HSE[Date], LASTNONBLANK(HSE[Lost Time Cases ],1)) but it's not returning the month 
 
 

Hi,

For getting the date/month you can modify the dax just a bit:

Date = CALCULATE(DATEDIFF(MAX('Table (7)'[Last accident]),ALL('Table (7)'[Last accident]))
Month  = CALCULATE(MONTH(MAX('Table (7)'[Last accident])),ALL('Table (7)'[Last accident]))

This will simply get the maximum value when the last accident happened.

Hi,

Here is one way to do this:

Measure 19 = CALCULATE(DATEDIFF(MAX('Table (7)'[Last accident]),TODAY(),DAY),ALL('Table (7)'[Last accident]))
