Hi wangjuan303 ,
I will ask again as may be I was not clear earlier.
- Latest date makes sense - which should be the maximum date in your date column. Right?
- Previous date - what should be this? Just one day before latest date or something else? For example: if Latest date is 4th feb 2022, then previous date will be 3rd feb 2022. The reason for this question is - in your screenshot: latest date is 12/25/2021; but previous date is 9/22/2021 which is nearly 2 months before latest date.
Thanks,
Pragati
