    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Does the measure meet your requirement?

    Prior Date = 
VAR maxd =
    MAXX ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[work day] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[work day] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[work day] <> maxd )
    )

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Then we should update the measure as below.

 

Prior Date = 
VAR maxd =
    MAXX ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[work day] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[work day] ),
        FILTER ( ALL('Table'), 'Table'[work day] <> maxd )
    )

To get the sales amount based on Prior date.

sales amount pri = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[sales]),FILTER('Table','Table'[work day] = [Prior Date]))

    So I am still having issues...when I put your Prior Date formula into a table it is not showing the prior date properly for each line.  In the screen shot below you can see the formula, but when it translates into the table is for the most part shows the most current date plus two blanks.  The columns that show the Current Work date and Prior Work dates are correct...my biggest issue is the prior sales (hours)...any formula I write including the one you gave me returns blanks as shown in the Prior Earned Hours +(-) and

    Prior Earned Hours +(-) v2 versions.  Strange that when I use the max date in the Current Earned Hours +(-) it properly shows the total hours.
