Well, you can get the last status using something like Lookup Min/Max: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Lookup-Min-Max/m-p/985814#M434

 

You can get the max date using just MAX. 

 

A simple age could be calculated by combing these two, so let's say you have a variable __LastComment and you have the max date, __MaxDate, you could do something like:

 

COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[Date] <= __MaxDate && [Circuit Comment] = __LastComment))

 

But, the issue I foresee is if you have older comments where the comment matches but there are different comments in between. For that circumstance I would have to put some thought into it but maybe something along the lines of Cthulhu. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Cthulhu/m-p/509739#M211

 

In fact, if you had Cthulhu, you could just take the value of Cthulhu at your max date and be done.
