Hi,

I am not sure how your expected visualization looks like, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

Sales measure: = 
SUM(Sales[Sales])

 

Max date sales: = 
VAR _maxdate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Dates[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( Dates ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( [Sales measure:], Dates[Date] = _maxdate )

 

Second Max date sales: = 
VAR _maxdate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Dates[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( Dates ) )
VAR _secondmaxdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Dates[Date] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Dates ), Dates[Date] < _maxdate )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( [Sales measure:], Dates[Date] = _secondmaxdate )

 

Difference: = 
[Max date sales:] - [Second Max date sales:]
