Penultimate date of the column

 
Hello, I am trying to create a measure giving me the penultimate date of the column.
It seems simple, written like that, yet I'm breaking my teeth on it

This expression will get you the 2nd highest date in that column.

 

Penultimate Date = var maxdate = MAX(Table[Date_accident])

return CALCULATE(MAX(Table[Date_accident]), Table[Date_accident] < maxdate)

 

Regards,

Pat

I made a mistake, I wanted the penultimate row in the column

This expression will get you the 2nd highest date in that column.

 

Penultimate Date = var maxdate = MAX(Table[Date_accident])

return CALCULATE(MAX(Table[Date_accident]), Table[Date_accident] < maxdate)

This logic should work:

Penultimate Date = MAX(Table[Date_Accident])-1
