Calculate time between values

Hi all, 

 

I need to create a columnt that indicates how many days have passed between last two activities with the same client. Here's an example: 

 

IDDate (mm/dd/yyyy)Days between activities
3215461/5/2019null
4568781/7/2019null

321546

1/9/20194
4568781/30/201923

 

So with the information in columns [ID] and [Date], I'd like to create the column [Days between activities]. In the above example the first two rows of table values would be first activities from new clients, thus the values in [Days between activities] being null (because there are no earlier activities). 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try like

datediff(table[date],MINX(filter(Table,Table[Date]>EARLIER(Table[Date]) 
&& Table[Id]= EARLIER(Table[Id])),Table[Date]),DAY)
