Calculated column for previous date values

[sayali_deshmukh]

Hi,

Looking for a way to extend the solution given by @amitchandak  and @v-deddai1-msft  here - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Calculated-Column-for-previous-date-values/m-p/1056838#M494...

Need to calculate updates for all previous dates for a given task - 

Today's update, yesterday's update, day before yesterday's update and so on...

- without creating the columns beforehand (as data will keep on appending)

@sayali_deshmukh ,I would have prefered to test this. But data was not in text format

Create a column like

Date Name = Switch( True () ,
'Date'[Date]=TODAY(),"Today",
'Date'[Date]=TODAY()-1,"Yesterday",
'Date'[Date]=TODAY()-1,"Yesterday -1",
[Date]&"")

Also create date desc rank

Date desc Rank = RANKX(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date],,DESC,Dense)

Sort the first column on the second column

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-sort-by-column

Have to measure or use max in matrix

Max Today Plan = max(Table[Today Plan])

Max Today Update= max(Table[Today Update])

On a Matrix Put Task on Row and Date name on column and these two as values and check

Hi @v-deddai1-msft 
Thank you for your help.
I was able to get the output as per your suggestion.

Also, looking for a way to show the same data in following view - 

Task	Date	05-05-2020	04-05-2020	03-05-2020
Module1	Plan	Deploy	Updation	Modification
	Update	Done	Done	Done
