Column with -1 dates
Hello All,
I wanted to create a column in the Power query to show previous dates from the existing column. Please refer to the expected results table:
| Date | Previous Day-Date | |
| 23/01/2023 | 22/01/2023 | |
| 22/01/2023 | 21/01/2023 | |
| 01/12/2022 | 30/11/2022 |
In the above example: The Date is the column I have and the Previous Day-Date is the column that I want to show.
Please help resolve this problem.
Thank you.

Hi MintuBaruah .
You can simply use PREVIOUSDAY() function.For example :-Measure 2 = PREVIOUSDAY(Orders[Order Date])Please follow this link :-https://powerbidocs.com/2020/09/13/dax-previousday-function/#:~:text=Step%2D1%3A%20Create%20a%20measure%20to%20calculate%20previous%20day%20sale.&text=Step%2D2%3A%20Drag%20Order%20Date,visual%20to%20check%20the%20output.&text=So%2C%20you%20can%20see%20here,day%20sales%20against%20current%20date.
