Hi @mohamedh,

Of course, you should lookup the previous day first, then calcualte it using calculated column.

I create sample data table.

Create a column ranked by date, then lookup the previous day value based on the rank colculated column.

 

Rank = RANKX(Test,Test[Date],,ASC)

previous day closing value = LOOKUPVALUE(Test[closing stock],Test[Rank],Test[Rank]-1)


Finally add the current day value and previous day value together. Please see the formula and screenshot below.

 

previous-day-closing+opening-stock-current-day = Test[closing stock]+Test[previous day closing value]

If you have other issues, don't hesitate to let me know.
