Return Most Recent and Second Most Recent Values By Item

Hello All -- New Power Bi user here and training in the coming weeks. I was tasked with the following but all attempts so far have not worked. I've tried using a combination of Column formulas, measure formulas, and table formulas with no success. Where do I go from here?

 

I am attempting to return in my report values for the most recent submission as well as the second to last submission by Item. See screenshot. Any help is much appreciated!

Please try these MEASURES for current date and price

 

DateCurrent =
MAX ( Table1[Date] )

 

PriceCurrent =
VAR CurrentDate = [DateCurrent]
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[Price] ), Table1[Date] = CurrentDate )

And try these MEASURE for Previousdate and PreviousPrice

 

DatePrevious =
VAR currentdate = [DateCurrent]
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[Date] ), Table1[Date] < currentdate )
PricePrevious =
VAR PreviouDate = [DatePrevious]
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[Price] ), Table1[Date] = PreviouDate )
