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.
Thanks ,

    Hi pratyashasamal 

     

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have to create the Previous Day-Date column in Power query so that I can create a unique ID column.

    Please provide solution for the same for Power query.
