Hi @ravi_ch , Please try this:
Step 1: create index column using dax:
Index_column = RANKX(ALL('Tablename'),[Date])

Step 2: using DAX create a new column

PreviousRow = Lookupvalue(tablename[Date], tablename[index_column], tablename[index_column] -1)
Step 3: Create another column for counting the difference

Count = DATEDIFF([Date], [PreviousRow], DAY)

but apply slicer like product mam it won't working.
like for each Product what is difference in days between each sale

 

@ravi_ch 

Pls try this

Measure = 
VAR _last=maxx(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]<max('Table'[Date])),'Table'[Date])
VAR _DF= DATEDIFF(_last,max('Table'[Date]),DAY)
VAR _last2=maxx(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]<max('Table'[Date])&&'Table'[Product]=max('Table'[Product])),'Table'[Date])
VAR _DF2=DATEDIFF(_last2,max('Table'[Date]),DAY)
RETURN IF(ISFILTERED('Table'[Product]),_DF2,_DF)

pls see the attachment below.

@ravi_ch 

you can create a measure

Measure = 
VAR _last=maxx(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]<max('Table'[Date])),'Table'[Date])
return DATEDIFF(_last,max('Table'[Date]),DAY)

@ravi_ch -> You can also do using DAX.

Step 1: Create index column starting with 1 (Transform data -> Index column -> Start from 1)
Step 2: using DAX create a new column

PreviousRow = Lookupvalue(tablename[Date], tablename[index_column], tablename[index_column] -1)
Step 3: Create another column for counting the difference

Count = DATEDIFF([Date], [PreviousRow], DAY)

Hi @ravi_ch ,

You can do this is Power Query. 

Step 1- Create an index column.
Step 2 - Add new custom column 

paste this code in it:
= try #"Added Index"{[Index]-1} [Date] otherwise null 

and then click on OK.
this step is going to take the date present in 2nd row to the first row.

 Step 3: Create another column which has your result

Result = DATEDIFF([date], [new column that we created], DAY)
@ravi_ch -> If this works, the  please mark it as a solution.
