    Hi AllanBerces ,

     

    I created a Date table:

    Date = CALENDAR(DATE(2024,3,1),DATE(2024,4,3))

     

    A measure is created to dynamically represent today, or "today" if it is today.

    Measure1 = IF(MAX('Date'[Date]) = TODAY(), "Today",MAX('Date'[Date]))

     

    Creates a measure to dynamically represent the day before today, or "Previous_day" if it is the day before today.

    Measure2 = IF(DAY(TODAY()) - DAY(MAX('Date'[Date])) = 1, "Previous_day",MAX('Date'[Date]))

     

    The calculated columns cannot be created and the following error is reported: "Expressions that yield variant data-types cannot be used to define calculated columns."

     

    The page effect is shown below:

     

    If you have other questions please feel free to contact me.

     

    The pbix file is attached.
