    JunMenoza You need a variation on MTBF. See my article on Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) which uses EARLIER: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Mean-Time-Between-Failure-MTBF-and-Power-BI/ba-p/339586.
    The basic pattern is:
    Column = 
      VAR __Current = [Value]
      VAR __PreviousDate = MAXX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Date] < EARLIER('Table'[Date])),[Date])

      VAR __Previous = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Date]=__PreviousDate),[Value])
    RETURN
      __Current - __Previous

    Hi:

    If you can put the date in the table e.g. 4-10-2021  and add an index column using Power Query (1 -8) then this calculated column will work for you.

    Previous Value 2 =
    CALCULATE(
    LASTNONBLANKVALUE(Data[Date], SUM(Data[Mileage])),
    ALLEXCEPT(Data, Data[Sales Rep]),
    Data[Index]<EARLIER(Data[Index]) &&
    Data[Day]
    )
    Here is a picture of the results:(I named your table Data)

    To put an index column in, go to transform data, "add index column (from 1). Here is an example file. I hope this solves your question!
